Bring style, strength, and tradition into your everyday life with our Large Market Basket. Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Bolgatanga, Ghana, this beautiful African Basket is not only a practical companion for shopping but also a sustainable and decorative piece for your home. Whether you are heading to the market, organizing your living space, or planning a picnic, this Handwoven Basket offers functionality with a touch of cultural artistry.

Authentic Bolga Basket

Each basket is carefully woven by hand using elephant grass, a strong and flexible natural fiber grown in Northern Ghana. The weaving techniques used are passed down through generations, ensuring durability while preserving cultural traditions. No two baskets are exactly alike—each one is a unique piece of African artistry that reflects both the maker’s skill and creativity.

Functional African Basket

Measuring approximately 15 inches across the top, 8 inches at the base, and 10 inches in height, this Market Basket is designed with practicality in mind. The wide opening makes it easy to load and unload groceries or personal items, while the stable base allows it to stand firmly on the ground. Wrapped leather handles add strength and comfort, so you can carry heavy loads without strain.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable

Choosing this Handwoven Basket is an eco-conscious decision. Made from 100% natural fibers and vegetable-tanned leather, it is biodegradable and free of harmful chemicals. By using this basket instead of plastic bags, you are reducing waste while also supporting fair-trade practices and empowering artisan communities in Ghana.

Versatile Use

Though traditionally used as a Market Basket, its uses extend far beyond shopping. This Storage Basket is perfect for:

  • Carrying produce, groceries, or goods from the market
  • Storing blankets, toys, or laundry at home
  • Serving as a chic beach or picnic bag
  • Adding rustic charm to your interior décor

Its natural, earthy look blends seamlessly with any home style—modern, bohemian, or traditional.

Durable & Long-Lasting

Made from elephant grass, this African Basket is built to last. Its sturdy construction and flexible weave allow it to handle heavy loads without losing shape. Unlike factory-made alternatives, each Handwoven Basket grows more beautiful with age, maintaining both strength and character for years.

Care Instructions

  • Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • If it loses shape, lightly dampen with water, reshape by hand, and let it air dry.
  • Wipe gently with a damp cloth for cleaning.
  • Avoid prolonged sun exposure to keep its natural colors vibrant.

Cultural Heritage in Every Basket

Purchasing this Handwoven African Basket means owning more than a product—it’s a story of heritage, resilience, and craftsmanship. Each artisan earns fair wages for their work, helping to sustain traditional skills and improve local livelihoods.

Perfect Gift Idea

Looking for a meaningful, practical, and stylish gift? This Market Basket is an excellent choice for eco-friendly shoppers, home décor lovers, and anyone who values authentic, handmade products. Whether for a birthday, wedding, or housewarming, it’s a thoughtful gift that combines beauty and utility.
