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.\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e  VETA VERA GRASS \u0026amp; LEATHER\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/b\u003e: W35cm x D25cm x H25cm (approx)\u003cbr\u003eTwo leather straps are included.If your basket gets wet, simply leave it to dry naturally and re-shape. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen not in use, we recommend storing somewhere completely dry (and damp proof!)\u003c\/span\u003eAs each basket is individually handmade, some variation in size and colour may occur.\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFAIR TRADE \u0026amp; HANDMADE IN GHANA \u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rosie Loves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38214487802047,"sku":"BB0102","price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0418\/9768\/9252\/products\/FANTE-RECTANGULAR-_57-The-Basket-Room-5.jpg?v=1616163965","url":"https:\/\/rosie-loves.co.uk\/nl\/products\/bicycle-basket-hand-woven-fante","provider":"Rosie-Loves","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
