Shopping Baskets

Woven by hand in Bolgatanga, northern Ghana, Africa, from hand-split and hand-twisted elephant grass. Uses for baskets are unlimited: picnics, shopping, toy chest, shoe storage, laundry, towels or a recycling bin. Very durable. As these baskets are handmade, some slight variations in size and colour occur. Note your colour preferences in your order.

To reform any "dents" in your basket, moisten (in the shower for 30 seconds or dipped in water) and then reshape.

Azo-free dyes; goat leather handle. Round bottom, 10" diameter. Basket height 11" to bottom of handle.

Handbags need little, if any, reshaping. There are some great videos on how to reform baskets. Watch here.
