Handcrafted Wing Shopper Basket: Lightweight Strength with Fair-Trade Flair

Heritage Weaving with a Modern Twist

In northern Ghana, expert weavers split and twist elephant grass, then coil it into the Wing Shopper’s distinctive flared shape—wide at the rim, narrow at the base, easy to tuck under an arm. Vegetable-based dyes create soft earth tones and subtle bands that complement modern interiors. Each purchase funds fair wages and helps preserve a centuries-old craft, turning everyday errands into a celebration of cultural artistry.

Insight: Slight shifts in color or weave tension signal true handwork and make your basket uniquely yours.
