Short Bolga Laundry Basket | Free Shipping in North America

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.

Because each basket is handmade, size, colour, and shape may vary slightly, making every piece unique.

Handmade Variation

All Big Blue Moma Bolga baskets are made by hand, meaning no two are identical. Slight differences in size, shape, and colour are part of what makes each basket unique.

Reshaping Your Basket

Your basket ships folded flat for efficient transport. If it arrives slightly misshapen:

1. Dip the basket briefly in water
2. Shape it gently with your hands
3. Allow it to air dry

Watch our quick basket reshaping video for a simple demonstration.

Shipping

Free shipping is included in the price of this basket anywhere in North America.

Because Bolga baskets are flexible and nest together, they ship efficiently while keeping their strength and durability.
