Materials

100% natural elephant grass (veta vera), handwoven in Bolgatanga, Ghana. Coloured with non-toxic dyes. Because every basket is handmade, colours and pattern may vary slightly from the photos.

Care & reshaping

Bolga baskets are woven from natural elephant grass, which is flexible when damp. If your basket arrives slightly squashed after its journey, it is easy to fix.

How to reshape your basket

  1. Lightly dampen the basket with water (a quick rinse or spray is enough).
  2. Gently push it back into shape by hand.
  3. Stuff it firmly with towels, pillows or cushions to hold the shape.
  4. Leave it to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
