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.

These fans are great for cooling. Or for starting fires! That is what they are traditionally used  for fanning the coals in the cooking fire. 

Use them for cooling, fires or decoration. Or all three! 

And, added bonus, every order supports hard-working women in Ghana. See how in our¬ Impact Report.

Reshaping Your Basket

+
  1. Dip the basket in cold water for 1 minute. 
  2. Remove from water and let it absorb the moisture for 5 minutes. 
  3. Bend the basket to reshape and allow it to dry.

Fan Dimensions

+

A unique, hand-woven creation made by artists, the colors vary and may not be as shown.

Please treat dimensions as approximate only. Each basket is an individual work of art, made by hand and not to any pre-programmed size, using skills and techniques passed down through generations.

The actual size of the basket you get may be larger, or smaller than the dimensions indicated, depending on the feelings and circumstances of the artist who made it on the day it was made.
