Our beautiful African Round baskets with reinforced leather handles. These baskets are hand-woven from elephant grass, which grows near a village of Bolgatanga in Northern Ghana.

These baskets are great for shopping and keeping all those little items tidy around the home, especially kids' toys! Another option is placing a pot plant inside them - so many things these baskets could be used for.

*Please note:  these baskets are handmade, so diameter will vary within the measurements below.

Medium: 28 cm – 32 cm D - LIMITED STOCK AVAILABLE
Large: 36 cm – 42 cm D (SOLD OUT)

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Our fresh and fabulous basket will be flat packed and will need some life breathed into it. The good news is that the care instructions are simple.

If the basket ever gets out of shape they are easy to reshape, simply immerse in water for a few minutes and adjust while wet. 

- Soak the basket. This can be done in the sink, bath or under the shower. Work the reed. The reed becomes malleable when soaked.

- Work it gently and start forming it into the shape you desire.

*We find that a round and symmetrical finish looks the best.

- Leave it to dry somewhere with good drainage, so water doesn't pool underneath.
