Handwoven Bolga basket

The Story of the Yayra Bolga Basket

In the savannah regions of northern Ghana, skilled artisans weave each Bolga basket entirely by hand using locally harvested elephant grass. This centuries-old craft is passed down through generations, creating baskets that are both functional and beautifully unique.

The Yayra Handwoven Bolga Basket reflects this heritage. Each strand is carefully woven to form a strong yet lightweight structure, finished with smooth leather handles for comfort and durability.

No two baskets are exactly the same — subtle variations in pattern and colour celebrate the individuality of handmade craftsmanship.

More than a shopping basket, the Yayra basket is a timeless piece of African artistry designed for everyday living.
