Handmade Woven Elephant Grass Basket - Large

Celebrate Mother's Day with our Handmade Woven Elephant Grass Baskets, in our large U-Shopper style. Perfect as a display basket for your plants, flowers or gifts.

Run your daily errands with our colourful, natural, and stylish Handmade Woven Elephant Grass Baskets, designed in Australia and crafted by skilled artisans in Uganda under fair-trade practices. Elephant grass, a resilient and sustainable material, grows around waterholes in the Sahel region of West Africa. Its strong, slender leaves are harvested seasonally by the Fra Fra people of Northern Ghana, then soaked and stretched into fine, supple, and extra-strong fibres.

Your purchase of these baskets helps preserve and support the time-honoured craft of weaving and sustains a long-standing fair-trade relationship with these communities. Each basket is versatile and unique and can be soaked in water and reshaped as desired.

Our elephant grass products come in a variety of unique designs and sizes:

• Genuine Handwoven Basket, traditionally made by Ghanian weavers
• African Leather Handle
• Certified Fair-Trade product
• Organic, so every product comes different

Extremely resilient, these products can be flattened, packed, or even exposed to rain or ocean water without compromising their durability. Basket enthusiasts admire these designs as the ultimate stylish, durable and long-lasting alternative to traditional straw products.
