Bolga Open Weave Basket

Founded in 2007, Indego Africa is a nonprofit social enterprise propelling the creation, growth, and sustainability of women-owned businesses in Africa. From the fine raffia weaving in their bags to the woodcarving in their homewares, the brand provides women and youth with the vocational skills, business know-how, and pipeline to global markets to become self-sufficient entrepreneurs. Crafted with bolga weaving, which has been practiced by Ghanian artisans for centuries, the Bolga Open Weave Basket is ideal for storing messes or keeping organized. And we love it as a market tote or a storage solution to any interior space.
