MADE IN GHANA
This tote is handmade by fair trade artisans in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana using thick, tough elephant grass and leather for the handles. From start to finish, the process of making a single Bolga Basket can take an entire week. Each purchase helps empower and support the weavers and promotes sustainable methods of production.
PLEASE NOTE: BECAUSE THIS ITEM IS HANDCRAFTED, EACH ONE MAY VARY SLIGHTLY IN SIZE AND DESIGN. No two are exactly alike, making your Ghana Tote one of a kind.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Bolga baskets can be easily wet down and reshaped, and can be used and enjoyed for years on end. To reshape your basket, spray to wet the item thoroughly using cold water to prevent dye bleed. Smooth the bag to your desired shape. Shake out any excess water, and then place the item in a warm place to dry. We recommend not placing wet items on a surface where dye transfer might occur. This process can be repeated as often as needed. Be ready to enjoy your bag for a long time!
