Handwoven Ghana Tapered Shopper: Roomy Carry, Global Flair

Hand & Grass Craftsmanship

In Bolgatanga, Ghana, seasoned weavers split elephant grass into slim strands, dye some in earthy pigments, and coil the fibers into a tall, tapered basket that’s narrow at the base and wide at the rim. Sturdy leather-wrapped handles finish the piece, ready for heavy produce or beach gear. Natural wheat tones mingle with muted color bands, and every purchase circulates fair wages back to the weaving villages.

Ready for Market, Beach, or Home

• Farm-Stand Powerhouse – Load greens, bread, and bottles; the deep body keeps groceries upright.
• Coastal Day Bag – Towels, sunscreen, and a novel fit easily, while sand shakes out with a quick flick.
• Stylish Storage – Off-duty, park it by the sofa to corral blankets or magazines; its sculptural shape doubles as décor.

PRODUCT CARE

• Shape Refresh: Submerge briefly in warm water, mold by hand, and air-dry.
• Cleaning: Brush off debris or wipe with a damp cloth—no detergents.
• Sunlight: Rotate now and then; long exposure may lighten dyes.
• Leather: Treat handles with quality leather balm to keep them supple.

ARTISAN NOTES: Color bands, weave tension, and handle shade vary by maker, so every Tapered Shopper is unique. Prefer certain tones? Email support@tenbythree.org and we’ll locate the closest match.
