Details

The bright colors and bold patterns make this elephant grass basket great for decor, storage, or use on-the-go, and each one makes an incredible impact. Women weavers in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana are earning a sustainable income as they craft these distinctive elephant grass baskets using traditional techniques, patterns, and colors. Size, shape, and color vary due to handmade quality. Dimensions: Approx. 15 1/2"h x 11"dia.

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!

beautiful basket
Dec 29, 2022  |  By Gloria Paull
I sent my daughter a Savannah Sunset Market basket for Christmas and she was thrilled. She loved the colors and has wanted a market basket for along time. It gives me joy to send gifts from SERRV because of the beauty and quality, and because I know the artisans are receiving a fair wage. If everyone who sold everything honored the same work ethic as SERRV, "what a wonderful world" (as the song goes) it would be.
Thank you for all you do to create a world of love.

I am disappointed that my basket colors do not reflect the desired bright colors in the catalog. Serrv should not deceive buyers. Do not plan to order any more baskets from this company.
Owner Response: We're sorry this basket was not as pictured. We try to explain that they vary in the text but understand that is easily missed and also that the variance can still be more than expected.
