A two handled version of our most popular shape  this is the perfect addition to your basket collection and an excellent storage solution  

This basket is one of our more popular styles but the two handled option is new for us. I love this for firewood, mittens and hats by the front door or knitting by your favourite chair. The black and white goat leather handle is the signature of the collective we buy from. The elephant grass is dyed in rustic pots over a wood burning fire and the handles are sewn by the men who are employed by the collective. All baskets are woven by hand in the Bolgatanga area of Ghana, West Africa. Handles are covered with goat leather reinforcing it's construction while also adding an extra level of comfort when carrying a full load.

There are many, many uses for the small round baskets, tabletop storage, gift baskets and bathroom toiletries are just a few. These baskets can vary in size but are approximately 8 inches X 8 inches X 6 inches, with handles that add 1.5 inches to the height.  The handles fold in, and the basket collapses for easy shipping.

The majority of African baskets are shipped flat and can be easily reshaped by submerging in water. Maintain your Ghana basket by submerging it fully once or twice a year to hydrate the grasses and tighten up the weave. These baskets are a longstanding tradition in Ghana and you will be amazed at their durability as well as their stylish appearance.
