Before this basket was a basket, it was grass. Growing tall in the fields of northern Ghana, cut by hand, dried under the sun,is  and carried to the hands of a woman who knew exactly what to do with it.

That woman wove it into this. Every strand tight. Every handle is attached with leather that will soften with use and last for decades. The result was made for a life.

Take it to the market. Fill it with vegetables, bread, flowers, or whatever the morning calls for. Put it by the door. Hang it on a hook. Leave it on the kitchen counter looking exactly as good empty as it does full.

Known traditionally as a Bolga basket,  born in the Bolgatanga region of northern Ghana and still made the same way it always has been.

Natural, plastic-free and woven entirely by hand.

1. Store the handwoven baskets in a dry, ventilated place to protect their shape and prevent mildew.

2.Natural fibre baskets, like woven Bolga baskets, benefit from occasional reshaping with a light misting; gently mold by hand and let air-dry fully.

3.For woven basket maintenance, avoid prolonged direct sunlight and excessive moisture, which can weaken fibres over time.

4.To clean woven baskets, dust regularly with a soft brush or dry cloth, and spot clean gently with a damp cloth when needed.

5.Do not overload handwoven baskets, as excess weight can distort weaving.

Nokupa baskets come in multiple sizes and each one is handwoven, meaning dimensions may vary by 2–4cm from the measurements listed. To choose the right size:

  • Small — ideal for shelves, bathroom surfaces, entryways and small item storage
  • Medium — perfect for floor placement, blanket storage and everyday room organisation
  • Large — designed for carrying, deep storage and statement floor pieces

All measurements listed (H and W) are taken at the widest point without handles. Handle height is listed separately where applicable. If you are unsure between two sizes, we recommend sizing up — a larger basket is always more versatile.
