MaterialElephant grass

Somewhere in northern Ghana, a woman sits with elephant grass and begins to weave, light-weighted, open and built for the rhythm of everyday life.

This basket carries groceries from the market, bread from the bakery, vegetables from the farmers shop, or whatever a weekend errand calls for. The brown leather handle is made to last. Natural, plastic-free and made entirely by hand.

A beautiful everyday basket. One of the most thoughtful gifts you can give, because every basket carries not just what you put inside it, but the story of the woman who made it.

  • Height 37cm
  • Base diameter 32cm
  • Handmade in Ghana

Please note that baskets may vary in size because they are handmade

This basket paid for something real - a balanced meal for 3 days for the weaver´s family, school fees for her children, and a moment of stability for the woman who made it. Every basket is a step closer to Nokupa’s dream.

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.

Following these basket care guide will enable your elephant grass basket stay sturdy, stylish, and functional for years.

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.
