The real Bolga baskets are made exclusively by the local Gurus, also known as the Frafra people who live in northern Ghana. This is a craft area and the weaving tradition has been passed down for generations. It is mostly the women who weave the baskets and the sale is an important additional income next to agriculture. Crops often fail due to poor soil quality, heavy rainfall that erodes the soil and generally poor growing conditions. The women collect veta vera straw. The straws are split, then the straws are rolled against the thigh into a tight twist. The straws are then collected and dyed in boiling water. The basket is woven from the bottom up and finished by tying the straws to a round edge. Handles are made in many varieties and often with leather details. A woman normally weaves a basket in three days, more complicated shapes can take twice as long.
