Our Short Bolga Laundry Baskets offer a practical and beautiful storage solution for everyday living. Handwoven in Bolgatanga, Ghana, these sturdy baskets are made from natural elephant grass and provide an environmentally responsible alternative to plastic storage bins.
The lower profile makes these baskets especially versatile for laundry, blankets, dog toys, firewood, or everyday household storage. Their wide opening and strong structure allow them to hold bulky items while the two leather-wrapped handles make them easy to lift and carry.
Each basket is handwoven from elephant grass indigenous to northern Ghana, using traditional techniques passed down through generations of artisans. The handles are reinforced with goat leather, adding strength and comfort when carrying a full basket.
These baskets reflect a long-standing weaving tradition in Ghana and are valued for their durability, natural materials, and timeless design. Because each one is handmade, no two baskets are exactly alike.
