It is harvested by the Fra Fra people of Northern Ghana, soaked and stretched to produce a fine, supple, and extra strong fibre. Supporting these items helps preserve the traditional craft of weaving.

To provide affordable shipping costs for you, our Bolga Baskets are condensed and need to be reshaped upon arrival, we do this to significantly reduce shipping costs.
To reshape submerge your Bolga Basket into a tub of warm water for approximately 2 minutes, drain well, then pat and push to your desired shape. Reshaping takes no longer than 5 minutes. Leave out to dry in the sun and ensure it is completely dry before using.
