Find your perfect market Bolga basket at Afropacific
Making your way around the produce market gracefully with all precious goods unscathed is every market visitor’s challenge. Whether it’s a trolley, box, bag or basket, it is always a balancing act to ensure your farm freshness makes its way to your kitchen bench in the same condition as when it was pulled from the soil or tree.
Bolga baskets from Afropacific, who have a stall at the Eagle Farm Markets, are made from sundried elephant grass that is vibrantly coloured with natural vegetable and mineral dyes and double woven for durability and strength.
Hand-woven in Ghana West Africa, Bolga baskets get their name from the abbreviation of the town in which they are made, Bolgatanga. A Sunshine Coast business, Afropacific regularly visit West Africa, holding the ‘trade not aid’ philosophy of trading with the people of Ghana to drive self-sufficiency and independence.
Other than being the perfect market basket, allowing all your heavy produce to fill its base and your lighter leafy greens to pour over its edges, Bolga baskets are also great as a beach bag, kids toy bag, bread basket, for magazine and newspaper storage or just for ornamental display.
