A good basket does real work without ever looking like it's trying. Kiki Bazaar's Baskets & Bags collection is built on this principle — pieces that handle daily use, add warmth and texture to any space, and look good doing it.
The core of the collection is the Bolga basket: handwoven from elephant grass by artisan makers in Ghana, finished with leather handles, and built to last through years of market runs, beach days, and storage use. Each Bolga basket is shaped by hand, so no two carry exactly the same curve or weave. Alongside these, the collection includes cotton canvas totes in heavyweight fabric with reinforced handles, and storage baskets in sizes to suit any room.
These are working pieces — not display-only. Customers use them for farmers' market shopping, coastal trips, bathroom organisation, and bedroom styling. They add the warmth of natural materials to any interior while earning their place through genuine everyday utility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Bolga baskets and where are they made?
Bolga baskets are handwoven from elephant grass by artisan makers in the Bolgatanga region of northern Ghana. Each basket is shaped by hand and finished with leather handles. The name comes from Bolgatanga, a town with a centuries-long tradition of grass-weaving craft.
Are the baskets suitable for everyday use?
Yes — these are functional, hardwearing pieces designed for real use. Bolga baskets handle grocery shopping, market runs, beach trips, and storage equally well. The elephant grass construction is naturally strong and resilient.
How do I clean a woven basket?
Spot clean with a damp cloth for most marks. Avoid soaking or machine washing as this can weaken the natural fibre. Allow to air dry fully if wet. The leather handles can be conditioned occasionally to maintain suppleness.
What sizes are available?
The collection spans small market baskets through to large storage baskets suitable for throws, laundry, and toys. Cotton totes are available in everyday carry and oversized dimensions. Check individual listings for exact sizes.
