Practical as well as beautiful, our baskets are made to be used.
Extra spacious - the shopper basket is perfect for shopping, a day at the beach and anything in between.
Why we love it: You can fit everything in this basket!
Each Ansah Co. basket is handwoven with Kinkahe straw (also known as Elephant Grass) by skilled weavers in Bolgatanga - a northern region of Ghana. Made using techniques that have been perfected over generations, our baskets are durable and flexible; each handle is covered with goatskin leather to make it stronger and more comfortable to carry.
Our baskets are 100% biodegradable as well as ethically sourced and made. Ansah Co. strongly believes in a system where all are paid fairly; we work directly with artisans in Bolgatanga to ensure they receive a fair and living wage.
Due to the handmade nature of this product, each one is unique.
This basket arrives folded from shipping but don’t worry - it can quickly be reshaped using water and your bare hands ( your order will include detailed instructions on how to reshape your Ansah Co. basket ).
Care tips:
Very easy to clean, stains can be removed with a simple wipe with a wet cloth.
Do not leave out in the sun for long periods as the colors in your basket could fade.
If your basket loses its shape, re-form it using the instructions included with your order.
You may come across exposed ends on your basket, this is completely normal, simply trim them with a pair of scissors.
Once shaped, store your basket in a dry area.
This basket is made of grass and can be flammable, do not leave near exposed flame or heat sources.
