A new shipment of handmade Bolga baskets has arrived from Ghana 🇬🇭

Before they’re ready for our lovely customers, every basket needs to be unpacked, reshaped, checked, sorted and added to stock.

It’s one of the most exciting parts of the job – seeing all the new colours and designs emerge from each sack.

One week until our latest shipment from Ghana arrives.

Production began in January. Nearly six months later, these baskets are finally on their way to the UK.

This is why we love Bolga baskets.

They are made with intention. No mass production. Just skilled hands, traditional techniques, and patience.

Every basket is handwoven from elephant grass in Northern Ghana, making each one unique and built to last for years to come.

Swipe through for a glimpse of some of the baskets arriving soon, including new storage baskets, laundry baskets, pot baskets, and more.

As a small family of three, we’ve been making more time for simple, screen-free afternoons

Easy family walks, fresh air, warm drinks, and of course a Bolga U-Shopper to carry all our little bits and bobs.

There’s something so refreshing about slowing down and spending this time together 🤍

Handmade in Ghana and made to be part of everyday moments.

Our second ever container as a business is finally on its way from Ghana 🇬🇭✨

This is such a huge milestone for our small family business, and we honestly couldn’t have done it without your support.

Over the past few months, our partner weavers in Bolgatanga have been weaving around the clock to restock many of your favourite baskets that sold out earlier this year. Every basket is handmade slowly in small batches using traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations.

Beautiful things take time ❤️

After months of waiting, thousands of handmade baskets are finally on the sea and heading to us here in the UK. Seeing this journey come to life never gets old.

We cannot wait to unpack these beautiful new collections in June.

If you’ve been waiting for a restock, send us a DM to join our waiting list before they arrive ✨
