Naturals |
We always have a variety of "Natural" baskets available. Natural means that there is no color added to the veta vera grass used to make the baskets. Customers love the natural baskets because they go with any outfit and fit in any room in your house - no need to worry about coordinating! |
Each of these baskets are unique and one-of-a-kind. They are made in the region of Bolgatanga, Ghana, Africa. They are all hand made from the Veta Vera “elephants” grasses. Each piece of grass is split, both halves being twisted, and dyed. The colored grasses are dried for 24 hours before they start weaving them. It takes 2-3 days to weave the basket. The men apply the leather once the basket is woven. The leather is from goat hide.
The specialized weaving process makes these baskets strong and flexible; they can be reshaped or washed by getting them wet with water and forming them with your hands. The baskets are GREEN-SUSTAINABLE and LONG-LASTING. We hope you will have yours for years to come!
