Deluxe Colorful African Shopping Basket - Large 18" U-shape - by market women in Bolgatanga, Ghana with Africa Heartwood Project - GBLSC (Flat-packed)

I was out and about and saw something like this with my wife when she commented, "I wish I had one of those." I tracked this one down and was pleasantly surprised at just how high quality it is. It feels very sturdy and has and awesome design that she really loves. Pretty much the perfect bag for the farmers market. Love that it is hand made and each one is unique in some way. When it arrived it was slightly misshapen due to shipping but there is a note indicating that you can just spray it down with water and reshape. I did this and in no time had it molded back into a much more symmetrical condition.Anyhow, very lovely and very versatile bag. Plus, it was an excellent gift. I used it for putting other gifts in so no need to even wrap it :]

Beautiful large basket! Well crafted and shape it yourself.

I was so excited to receive my basket but when it arrived it was nothing like the assortment of product photography on the page. The one I received was extremely simple with a band of checkered pattern repeat in a single color (purple/eggplant). The quality was fine (although rougher than other Bolga baskets that I’ve owned). It arrived distorted (you can spray with water to reshape) probably because there was damage to the box. I don’t think that this was any fault of the vendor. I knew that the basket might not be the EXACT pattern or color but I thought that it would at least be something similar to the main product photography or even the lower page product photography. For $60+ I can’t justify keeping a really basic and not to attractive pattern.

I was happy that I received a nice color combination. Such a luxury to have one of these. Love it
