Made in Northern Ghana, Bolga Baskets have been woven by weavers in the region for generations. Each basket is made of sustainably sourced Veta Vera grass grown in central Ghana, then dried and dyed in the north. The grasses are then woven into a basket by a weaver who has complete choice on its final colour and pattern complexity - making each basket one-of-a-kind.
Established by a British-Ghanaian team who works directly with each community, so every basket purchased ensures weavers have a sustainable income as well as supports wider community projects.

Grass to Basket
Support Craft.
Veta Vera Grass is harvested from the fields in Ghana. The grass is split, twisted, and dyed in vibrant colours before our skilled weavers begin weaving the prepared grass into baskets.
This involves intricate patterns and techniques passed down through generations. We don't restrict our weavers in colour or pattern so each basket is one-of-a-kind. Once a basket is woven, leather is then added to the handles.
The finished baskets are ready.
