Fruit Basket (with Handle)
Our Bolga baskets are handmade in small communities using traditional methods. The women gather together to make the baskets to earn extra income to support their children and families. Each basket is completely unique and handcrafted just for you so the colors may vary.
A basket so beautiful it belongs in a fairytale, the Fruit Basket with a handle is both aesthetically pleasing and practical. If you’re on the go, bring the fruit basket with you to hold your lunch or snacks, and don’t worry about harming this tough handmade item because it can withstand anything you choose to put in it. If you are the avid outdoor enthusiast who loves picking flowers or mushrooms, the Fruit Basket is your #1 companion.
And, added bonus, every order supports hard-working women in Ghana. See how in our¬ Impact Report.
