THE OBJECT – Kaya No. 2 – Large Oval Bolga Basket
Handwoven in Bolgatanga in northern Ghana, the Kaya No. 2 – Large Oval Bolga Basket is designed for people who want function, form, and effortless style in a single piece. Its wide oval opening and generous depth create a practical carry shape that works just as well at the farmers market as it does styled in the home.
Bolga baskets from Bolgatanga in northern Ghana are widely considered the finest handwoven market baskets in Africa.
Positioned perfectly in the middle of the Kaya range, this size is spacious enough for weekly groceries, beach days and market shopping, yet refined enough to serve as a decorative storage basket for throws, toys, or living room styling.
Each Kaya No. 2 – Large Oval Bolga Basket is woven by hand from durable elephant grass fibres and finished with reinforced handles wrapped in goat skin for strength and comfort. At the front, the Tribal Village leather label marks the basket as part of the Tribal Village collection and reflects our direct partnership with artisan weaving communities.
No two baskets are ever identical, making every piece a unique expression of African craftsmanship and heritage.
Designed with the Tribal Village ethos — modern living, authentic African craft, and functional beauty.
