Important info As our baskets are handwoven, some may vary in shape from those in this image. The images below are of specific baskets showing colour and pattern detail. All of the images are the same size, though the baskets are not. Please pay attention to the size info on the left. Baskets are not reshaped after shipping from Ghana, so you'll need to reshape it yourself. It's easy! We'll include instructions with your basket. Or watch our video: Reshaping Bolga Baskets
