Extra Small Bolga Market Basket | Maude Basket

Practical as well as beautiful, our baskets are made to be used.

Great for collecting little treasures, storing toys or harvesting in the garden.

Why we love it: this basket is perfect for little hands.

Each Ansah Co. basket is handwoven with Kinkahe straw (also known as Elephant Grass) by talented 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.

Apart from the leather handle, 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.

This basket arrives folded from shipping, but don’t worry - it can quickly be reshaped using water and your bare hands. Detailed instructions on how to reshape your Ansah Co. basket will be included with your order.
