Basket Care: Essential Tips for Handwoven Baskets

Our handwoven baskets are crafted from durable and flexible river grass which grows abundantly during the rainy season in Northern Ghana. The grass is carefully dried, twisted, dyed, and woven to form these beautiful vessels. Finished with goatskin leather handles, these baskets are designed for both comfort and durability.

To ensure longevity, here are some basket care tips: 

to shape your basket soak it with water, give it a good shake to remove excess moisture, and gently form it with your hands, paying special attention to the handles to maintain its structure. Always dry your basket in a ventilated, shaded area and store it away from direct sunlight to keep the colors vibrant.

With proper maintenance, your well-cared-for basket can last for decades! Over time, with regular use, it may show signs of wear, reminiscent of The Velveteen Rabbit—becoming a cherished part of your daily life.
