Description
This natural bolga market basket with a leather handle is the perfect size & shape for market trips & picnics, fruit picking, tidying & foraging. Use yours as a basket beach bag or as stylish home storage: fill with toys, slippers, fruit & veg or knitting when you're not taking it out & about! This market basket is made in the Bolgatanga region of Northern Ghana, from robust elephant grass that grows wild in this part of Africa. Agricultural work is the mainstay of most of these Ghanaian weavers' incomes, but the pervasive dry seasons makes it increasingly difficult for families to meet school fees & medical bills. Basket weaving & producing these stylish shopping baskets brings these people the opportunity to earn a flexible second income. Use your Bolgatanga basket with pride, cheered by the knowledge that your purchase enables small craft communities in Ghana to weave their way to a more sustainable future. Material: VETA VERA GRASS & LEATHER Dimensions: W40cm x H30cm Please note, as this is a handmade product, dimensions & colour may vary from those shown in the photographs.
