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

- Keep away from heaters, fires, stoves and open flames.
