Our collection of handmade African baskets, are crafted in Ghana by the local village people, who produce these beautiful, practical and versatile baskets. 

They are so multi-purpose our customers tell us they use them for everything from, collecting fresh produce from the garden (they look lovely full of fresh apples), storage of kindling wood by the fire, children's toys, and of course they are wonderful for shopping at any market. 

We're very proud of our baskets and being Fair Trade the weavers are paid a fair wage for their craft. 

These baskets are made with straw in the villages around Bolgatanga in the North East of Ghana, the weavers make them by, first splitting the straw, which is then twisted ready for weaving before being dyed by immersion in small pots of hot water to which the desired colour batik dye is added, the baskets are then shaped and woven in the traditional African style.

With the final touch being the strong leather handles being stitched to them.

These baskets range in size from about 28 - 32 cms. diameter.



The baskets will be delivered in a semi flat state for practicality, simply place them under a shower spray to dampen them and gently push them into shape and
allow a couple of hours to dry and voila you are the proud owner of an attractive durable basket, ready to go!

As every basket is unique we photograph each one so you will buy exactly the one you  order.
