A new shipment of handmade Bolga baskets has arrived from Ghana 🇬🇭

Before they’re ready for our lovely customers, every basket needs to be unpacked, reshaped, checked, sorted and added to stock.

It’s one of the most exciting parts of the job – seeing all the new colours and designs emerge from each sack.

This is why we love Bolga baskets.

They are made with intention. No mass production. Just skilled hands, traditional techniques, and patience.

Every basket is handwoven from elephant grass in Northern Ghana, making each one unique and built to last for years to come.

Swipe through for a glimpse of some of the baskets arriving soon, including new storage baskets, laundry baskets, pot baskets, and more.

As a small family of three, we’ve been making more time for simple, screen-free afternoons

Easy family walks, fresh air, warm drinks, and of course a Bolga U-Shopper to carry all our little bits and bobs.

There’s something so refreshing about slowing down and spending this time together 🤍

Handmade in Ghana and made to be part of everyday moments.
