Our Story
Odo means love in Twi, an African language spoken in Ghana.
The journey of a Bolga basket is a story of tradition, craftsmanship, and community. It starts in the fields of Ghana where the elephant grass grows. Local farmers harvest the grass, and it is transported to weaving communities where skilled artisans transform it into beautiful, durable baskets. The weaving process can take several days, with each basket being unique in design and size. Once completed, the baskets make their way to markets around the world, where they are cherished for their durability and beauty. The weavers take great pride in their work, and each basket is a reflection of their dedication and skill. The Bolga basket tradition has been passed down through generations, and it's a vital part of the region's cultural heritage. When you purchase a Bolga basket, you are not only buying a beautiful and useful object but also supporting a community and keeping a tradition alive. It's a small way to make a big impact, and that's something to feel good about.
