Oval Pink Rim Bolga Shopping Basket
The Basket Room£49
A handwoven shopping basket with carry handles and bright pink accents - ethically produced in Northern Ghana by cooperative weavers.
Product description
A handwoven shopping basket with carry handles and bright pink accents - ethically produced in Northern Ghana by cooperative weavers.
Carry all your handbag essentials brightly, boldly and - most importantly - consciously with this beautiful bolga market basket. Boasting a bold pink rim against un-dyed grass, this oval shaped woven basket will bring a pop of Ghanaian colour and style to your look.
Each shopping basket is made from sturdy veta vera grass which produces baskets of impressive balance and strength. This indigenous grass is hand-rolled and dyed in boiling water before it is woven over the course of three days.
Agriculture is the main income source for most of these weavers, but the long dry seasons make it very difficult for families to budget and pay for food, school fees and medical bills. Basket weaving offers these communities the chance to earn a fair and flexible second income.
