Reshaping Your Bolgatanga Basket: Our artisan partners fold this basket in order to ship more efficiently. To remove creases and restore its shape, dampen basket with a spray bottle or other water source, or by submerging in water for 1 minute. Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow grass to absorb the moisture and become pliable. Bend and press the basket into shape - don't worry, it won't break. Allow it to air dry before use and enjoy your beautiful handwoven basket from Ghana!

The basket is well made. It is sturdy and the colors are bright. The leather buckle straps make it easy to attach to my bicycle handles. Happy with my purchase.

Bought this for my granddaughters 10th birthday present. She loved it!!! Her parents bought her a new bike for her birthday and this was the icing on the cake. Great quality product.

I just received this colorful basket and can't wait to use it on my bike. So colorful, and appears to be of very high quality. Should definitely last!

My sister is a resident in a nursing home. She uses the basket for personal items that she needs to keep with her when she is outside of her room. She loves it! She gets many compliments on it.
Great basket!

I was given a gift of this bicycle basket several years ago, and it was a wonderful gift. It might of interest that I do not ride a bicycle, but do use a "walker" for walking. Needed a little adapting, but it is on the front of my walker, and hardly a day goes by that someone here in the senior community where I live asks me where I got the "neat basket". It works well, looks great, and the colors were beautiful (although after several years use, they have faded somewhat. I will soon be ordering one, as it has become a "must have" for me.
Poor quality

Leather strap feels cheap and not very durable. Basket colors are very different from the picture shown and is not as nice. Basket also came bent out of shape. NOTE FROM SERRV: We're so sorry you're not happy with your basket! Please know that these baskets can indeed be reshaped. We just added a video link on the product page that shows you how. These baskets are made by hand so colors can vary as well. If you'd like to return your basket, just call Customer Service and they'll be happy to help you.
