Coming from the Bolgatanga region of Ghana, these baskets are traditionally used for carrying goods to and from the market. Weavers in the region use the abundant veta vera grass to weave these incredibly hardy, useful baskets. The leather wrapped handle adds to the durability. Please note that if a color looks black on your screen, it is actually a very, very dark blue.

Although we attempt to ship all baskets fully shaped, some baskets may need a bit of shaping when they arrive to you. Shipments outside of the Continental United States and via 3 Business Day Delivery receive ‘flattened’ baskets. Easily reshape your basket by quickly submerging in water (keep leather dry), reshape by hand, and let the basket dry. Each order comes with basket shaping instructions and a full page of information on Ghana baskets.

Basket colors may vary slightly, as this is a one of a kind handmade item.
