FairTale Bolga Tote Market Basket from Bolgatanga, Ghana - Product Features
- These vibrant, handcrafted carriers are named for Ghana's Bolgatanga region-the crafts centre of northern Ghana. Women all over the world carry Bolga baskets as purses; take them to market; or use them for storage, decoration or gift-giving.
- Each basket is hand-woven and dyed, starting with kinkanhe-a.k.a. elephant grass-an indigenous grass found throughout the region. The grass is cut, twisted and then bunched before being dyed in a kaleidoscopic of brilliant colors.
- FairTaleGhana is honored to partner with Yen Pang Basket Weavers. Its work fits perfectly with our mission: Empowering women through ethical business. And you'll get a piece of art crafted from rich traditions of African artistry.
