Shopping Basket
These baskets are woven by hand in Bolgatanga, northern Ghana, Africa, from hand-split and hand-twisted elephant grass. The solid handle is made of goat leather. Uses for these baskets are unlimited: picnics, shopping, toy chest, shoe storage, laundry, towels or a recycling bin. Very durable.
As these baskets are handmade, some slight variations in size and colour occur.
To reform any "dents" in your basket, moisten (in the shower for 30 seconds, or dipped in water) and then reshape.
Features:
- Azo-free dyes; goat leather handles
- Basket dimensions: Round bottom, 10" diameter. Basket height 11" to bottom of handle.
