Know before you buy
Elephant grass is a sturdy, fibrous plant native to Ghana known for its strength and flexibility. When woven into these baskets, it creates a durable, long-lasting structure capable of holding household items like blankets and books.
Because each basket is handwoven by individual artisans, there will be slight variations in shape, weave, and color. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the traditional process and ensure that your piece is one-of-a-kind.
No, these baskets are not water-resistant. We recommend keeping them in dry, indoor areas like living rooms or bedrooms to maintain the integrity of the natural elephant grass.
These baskets are not designed to be foldable. They maintain a rigid, classic round shape and are intended to be used as a permanent, decorative storage solution.
To keep your basket in good condition, simply dust it periodically with a soft, dry cloth. If the basket loses its shape over time, you can lightly mist it with water and gently reshape it by hand before letting it air dry.
