Handmade from stiff elephant grass dyed in a midnight blue, teal, and natural diamond pattern, this beautiful and practical open-weave lace basket bin showcases the weaving talent of rural artisans in Northern Ghana, West Africa. The sturdy elephant grass weave can stand up to years of use as a planter, storage bin, or whatever else your heart desires.

Responsibly sourced and thoughtfully crafted with local elephant grass by Fair Trade artisans in Ghana. Starting from a small woven circle, Ghanaian basket weavers excel at transforming the tough grass fiber into iconic baskets as they work their way out from a central point to reveal beautiful, distinctive baskets. Just as the baskets begin as a small circle and expand, so does the impact of purchasing fair trade items that directly benefit, support and empower the artisans who create them. The baskets can be rinsed and reshaped with cool water as needed.
