- About the Makers
We work directly with Gurune (Frafra) weaving cooperatives around Bolgatanga, Northern Ghana—no middlemen. Many of these master craftswomen learned their skills from mothers and grandmothers, preserving a family legacy in every fibre. By sourcing directly, we ensure fair payment and community reinvestment, empowering women in a region where agriculture alone can’t guarantee steady income.

How these African baskets are made
The dog bed baskets are handwoven from sustainably sourced Elephant Grass.
Elephant grass grows wild throughout Bolgatanga, but people have also begun to grow it in their smallholdings to supplement their income and for their own basket weaving. It is cut, dried and dyed and then twisted, coiled and knotted into the beautiful shapes that Bolgatanga is famous for!
Care
These dog beds are sturdy, strong, and flexible, made to withstand constant use. If properly cared for, your basket will live a long life.
-
-
Dust Regularly: Use a soft brush or dry cloth to remove surface dust.
-
Wipe Gently: If needed, use a slightly damp cloth—avoid soaking.
- Reshape When Needed: Dampen with water and push the basket back into shape if distorted.
