Fair Trade Ghana Bolga African Dye Free Mini Market Basket 9.5-10.5" Across, 20122L

Product Description

You will receive a basket of nearly identical colors to this one pictured, but please keep in mind every basket is uniquely handwoven and differs in design. In the Bolgatanga area of Ghana, these baskets are traditionally used for carrying goods to and from the market. Weavers in the region use the abundant Veta vera grass to weave these incredibly hardy, useful baskets. Easily reshape your basket by quickly submerging in water, reshape by hand and hang to dry. Use the following directions for reshaping it. Start by running warm water over the entire basket - you can even get the handle and tag wet. Allow the water to soak in and then shake off any excess water. Allowing the water to completely soak in makes the basket very pliable. Put the basket down on a flat surface, roll it around and set into the desired shape. Allow to air dry, basket Preparation, and how to reshape the baskets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOdYBPr93PM
