Gua – Natural Open Weave Bolga Shopping Basket

Description

This delightful Gua – Natural Open Weave Bolga Shopping Basket from The Basket Room is a gorgeous woven shopper. Natural and undyed, the lower portion of this handy and stylish shopper features an open weave design.  It is made from indigenous veta vera grass – also known as Elephant Grass – the preparation process is lengthy: grass is harvested, split, and hand-rolled before a skilled weaver from our partner weaving cooperative in Northern Ghana sets to work.

Sustainable through and through, this grass grows wild in Ghana and produces wonderfully balanced and sturdy basketry.  The weaving of baskets is a useful supplementary income for communities whose primary income from farming can be uncertain.

Dimensions: 30cm Dia x 37cm H / 12″ Dia x 15″ H
