Frequently asked questions
How do I use them?
Use them for storage — fruit, laundry, toys, firewood or market shopping — or as decorative pieces. The market and laundry baskets carry a real load.
Are they durable?
Yes. The elephant grass is strong and flexible, and the baskets carry weight well. With simple care — kept dry and cleaned gently — they last for years.
Is it a medical or health product?
No. It is a woven straw basket for storage and decor. It is not a medicine and not intended to address any condition — it is a piece of handcraft to live with.
Are they ethically sourced?
Yes. We work directly with the weavers and pay fairly for the skilled handwork. The craft is the weavers' livelihood, and fair trade helps it continue.
Who makes them?
They are made by weavers in Bolgatanga, who have turned elephant grass into baskets for generations. Each basket is finished by a single weaver and is one of a kind.
What are Bolga baskets made from?
They are woven from elephant grass, gathered, split and coiled, with colourful strips woven in for the pattern. They are made in Bolgatanga, in northern Ghana.
