Aside from being great shopping totes, Bolga market baskets also make good laundry baskets and are well suited for storing and toting toys, beach towels, picnic and potluck food, and more. Our beautiful Bolga baskets are made in the Bolgatanga region of Northern Ghana in West Africa, and are fair trade products. Bolga baskets are among the best known African baskets because of their versatility and durability. They are woven from local Kinkanhe grass by both men and women, most of whom are farmers as well as weavers. The leather handles are made from local goat skin and the dyes are produced from local minerals and vegetation. The basket export industry is a critical source of income for the weavers, especially when harvests are poor. When you purchase a Bolga basket to take to your local farmer's market, you will know you have helped a Ghanaian farmer earn a decent wage. Bolga baskets are also sustainable products, and their production has a minimal impact on the environment.
