Bolgatanga Baskets presents beautiful handmade baskets from the villages surrounding Bolgatanga, in the Upper East region of Ghana. These baskets are famous for their beauty, durability and versatility.

The Bolga baskets are woven from Guinea grass, dyed to produce a vibrancy of colors that reflect the energy and allure of the people. Most of the baskets are woven by women.

While most businesses focus on the product, we place equal focus on the “process” with emphasis on the basket weavers. These in most cases are marginalized women, that do not get adequate income compared to the final sale value of their baskets.

Our baskets appeal to a socially conscious, more discerning crowd.

We employ a Family based approach.
Aim to improve the working and living conditions of the basket weaving families in the villages surrounding Bolgatanga.
