Product Description
Our Deluxe Natural African Shopping Baskets from Africa Heartwood Project come in two sizes and are custom crafted by the artists themselves from natural, dried elephant grass with no colors or dyes, giving each basket a simple and elegant look. Each is unique, like the woman who made it! Details of sizes and prices can be seen by clicking the “Sizes & Prices” tab just below.
Each deluxe basket in our collection is made from the elephant grass which grows in the rich flood plains of the White Volta near the village of Bolgatanga, Northern Ghana. We love that women artsians, working in family & village co-operatives, hand-weave each basket using traditional techniques handed down from generation to generation. Non-profit Africa Heartwood Project supports the sustainable livelihoods of cultural artisans in developing countries by providing training, investment, and access to global markets.
