This adorable and functional basket was adapted from a traditional style purse carried by shepherds in the northern region of Ghana. It works nice as a purse, carry-all, or foraging basket. This unique bell shaped basket comes with a leather shoulder strap and a woven grass lid. Each basket comes in a variety of colors and patterns.
Local women who work with African Market Baskets in Bolgatanga, the largest town in the Upper east region of Ghana, supplement the family income by weaving baskets that are hand-woven using locally-grown straw. Basket weaving has helped bring much needed income to the villages surrounding Bolgatanga. The traditional skill has been handed down from generation to generation and provides employment to approximately 10,000 people, mostly women.
