Handwoven Ghanaian Market Basket
Beautiful, colorful, and wonderfully versatile, these traditional Ghanaian market baskets are perfect for carrying your favorite projects or adding a little handmade charm to your home! Each basket is handwoven by skilled artisans using sustainably harvested elephant grass, also known as Kinkanhe straw, and features a sturdy leather handle for easy carrying.
Available in three sizes, these baskets are as practical as they are beautiful. The small basket is perfect for holding knitting notions, small projects, or everyday essentials. The medium and large baskets offer plenty of room for your yarn stash, works in progress, or a trip to the farmers market. They also make beautiful storage baskets, picnic companions, or decorative accents for your home.
Each basket is handcrafted through fair trade practices that support skilled artisans and sustainable livelihoods. The natural elephant grass used in these baskets also helps with soil and water conservation, making them a beautiful and environmentally conscious choice.
Because each basket is handmade and hand-dyed, colors, patterns, and sizes may vary, making every piece unique!
