Handwoven Natural & Black Stripe Bolga Basket - Large Round

Same basket family, its own personality.

This large round basket carries the Bolga name, tied to Ghana's Bolgatanga weaving tradition, and adds a black stripe band to the natural elephant grass body. It's individually made, so the stripe placement shifts slightly from basket to basket — no two land in quite the same spot.

At roughly 14" in diameter and 9" tall, it works as a catch-all basket, a planter cover, or a market basket depending on where you set it down, with braided handles that make it easy to move room to room.

Made One at a Time

Because each basket is individually made rather than mass produced, the person weaving it is paid for that specific piece — not for running a machine that stamps out a thousand identical copies. Buying one supports that piecework directly, not a machine running the same shape a thousand times.

Keeping Its Shape

Elephant grass holds up well to regular handling — wipe down with a damp cloth as needed, and keep it away from standing water so the coil stays tight.

Product Details

Roughly 14" diameter x 9" tall. Elephant grass with a black stripe band and braided handles. Handwoven in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana. Each piece varies slightly since it's made by hand.

Ideal For

Catch-all storage, planter covers, or a market basket that also looks good sitting out. Anyone who wants the Bolga shape with a little more contrast than the all-natural version. This Fair Trade piece comes through Powered by People (a certified B Corp), the wholesale platform that connects Made Brave with independent maker-brands rather than mass manufacturers — buying it supports that sourcing relationship, not just a design.

One basket, one weaver, paid for the piece in front of them.
