Each basket is handmade and unique which means they vary in size and shape.
Elephant grass grows abundantly in the Bolgatanga region in Ghana, West Africa.
This grass is seasonally harvested by the Fra Fra people. The grass is boiled and dried before the weavers split each length and then roll the two strands back together. These durable strands are then woven into bags, which takes 3-7 days depending on the size.
Purchasing these bags helps to honour and preserve the traditional craft of weaving, while maintaining a long-term fair-trade relationship with the weavers.
You may soak your basket in water and reshape as desired.
