A brief history of Bolga Baskets.

Bolga baskets were traditionally woven by Ghanaian women. "To carry" in Yoruba is "bolga".

The Ghanaian people have been making baskets out of grasses and palm leaves for generations. Two British missionaries introduced new weaving methods that allowed them to increase their skill.

Due to the revival of the Bolga basket, it is one of Ghana's most beloved handmade baskets. This has also led to a new tradition for weaving that has been passed down generation after generation. It is now a part of Ghanaian culture.
