Each is unique, just like the woman who made it! We call it our “Shopping” bag because it has two swinging handles and is perfect for holding a variety of items as it expands in width, similar to a grocery bag. This is the compact size, measuring about 10-11 inches long, 9-10 inches wide, and 9 inches tall, plus the 6-inch handle for an approximate total height of 14 inches. The smaller 11-inch size is suitable for carrying a variety of small items that don’t require a flat base (like the round basket), and the U-shaped design keeps items from falling out as the contents add up. Because this basket doesn’t stay open while at rest, it is less suitable for displaying items in a fixed location. They're each equipped with durable, soft leather handles.
We have carefully flat-packed this particular basket for efficient shipping and easy assembly. To assemble, simply reshape by spraying or immersing in water, hand shaping while wet, and allowing it to air dry. We include a care and shaping guide to help you keep your basket looking its best.
Each deluxe basket in our collection is made from elephant grass that grows in the rich flood plains of the White Volta near Bolgatanga, Northern Ghana. Women artisans, working in family and village cooperatives, hand-weave each basket using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Africa Heartwood Project, a non-profit organization, supports sustainable livelihoods for cultural artisans in developing countries by providing training, investment, and access to global markets. Your purchase helps preserve traditional crafts and culture, increases income for many working families, and supports charitable projects among the poor in West Africa.
