Bolga Pot Basket

The Pot design basket also called Gambigo basket is handwoven out of elephant grass from Bolga, Ghana. More difficult to weave than the round market baskets. The leather is made from goat skin and softened with shear butter.  The baskets are hand-woven in small villages using traditions passed down from generation to generation. They are woven out of renewable resources, including banana leaf and elephant grass, which grow abundantly in the region. The leather is treated using an all-natural process (either dyed and oiled or painted). Each basket is 100% unique! Variations are to be expected and treasured. Baskets are sturdy, strong, and flexible. If properly cared for, your basket will live a long life. The pot design is much more difficult to weave than the round market baskets, and truly showcases the weaving skills of the artisans.

The basket is washable and collapsible an no two baskets are identical.
Color schemes will vary and may contain a bright pop of color.
Baskets are shipped flat and require reshaping. Completely wet the basket in your bathtub or a large utility sink. Once it is saturated, shape it, putting something heavy in it to hold the shape you want, and let it dry. Basket is washable, collapsible.

No two baskets are alike as they are hand made. Basket is selected per order.
