The beautiful stylish hand woven FANTE bicycle basket has a striking black dye pattern against natural grass.

Perfect for shopping trips in town or pack with picnic food and a good book for days out in the countryside or the beach - you can even use your bike basket for carrying your dog!

The woven bicycle baskets can also be attached to the back of your bike as a stylish rear pannier.

Each hand crafted bike basket is a little work of art, taking up to three days to weave. Made from indigenous veta vera grass – also known as Elephant Grass – the preparation process is lengthy: grass is harvested, split, hand-rolled and dyed in boiling water before a skilled weaver in Northern Ghana sets to work.

Most of the weavers in the Northern Ghana cooperative are arable and livestock farmers, though relying so heavily on a season’s rainfall makes for unpredictable income. Basket weaving - a skill passed down the generations in most families – has become a source of supplementary income for these communities in the dry seasons, helping families to meet their basic living costs. To own one of our woven baskets is to become a part of this legacy, helping women and families towards a more sustainable way of life.

Material:  VETA VERA GRASS & LEATHER

Dimensions: W35cm x D25cm x H25cm (approx)

Two leather straps are included.

If your basket gets wet, simply leave it to dry naturally and re-shape. When not in use, we recommend storing somewhere completely dry (and damp proof!)

As each basket is individually handmade, some variation in size and colour may occur.
