With last weeks
Mix + Match post on
Bohemian Flair - I thought it only appropriate for the featured find this week to be the
Bolga Baskets.
Bold colors + tribal patterns make these baskets a perfect addition to bring
cultural richness inside your space.
The
bolga baskets are handwoven from
local artisans in the Bolga region of Ghana, Africa - we love
supporting local artisans around the world. Elephant grass is used to create these crafted goods and it allows the baskets to be easily
reshaped - just rinse with water, reshape to desired form, and let it dry in the sunlight. The handle is fastened around a ring - making it easy to hold, and the genuine leather makes for a comfortable grip - the hand craftsmanship is
truly exquisite and something hard to find in our modern times.
The
baskets are great to use for
storage - in your living room for dvd's, outside for poolside activities, in bathrooms for washcloths, in bedrooms for odds and ends. They are even nice to bring to the local market to hold your fresh produce. We adore the bright colors + the story behind these goods, and we couldn't be happier to
share them with you! And why not go ahead and take a look at what else we have in
the shop!
