Free shipping across Canada · Simple flat rate shipping to the US (Free over $150)

A mini version of our most popular U Shopper — designed for everyday use, gifting, and those who love a smaller, structured carry.

This handwoven Bolga basket from Ghana features a wide opening and deep base, making it surprisingly functional for its size. Perfect for market runs, bathroom storage, gift baskets, or everyday organization.

Each basket is woven by hand using durable elephant grass, dyed in small batches over wood-fired pots. The long, over-the-shoulder leather-wrapped handles are stitched by skilled artisans within the weaving community.
