Current Baskets LLC, Loveland, CO
Current Baskets, LLC, founded by Morgan Abu, offers beautiful Bolga baskets, named after the city of Bolgatanga, Upper East Region, Ghana, West Africa) where Morgan grew up. The baskets are hand woven from native elephant-grass. Once the grass is harvested, the weavers strip and dye the grass into beautiful, vibrant colors. After the grass is dyed and dried, weaving begins. No two baskets are exactly alike. Each one is truly unique. The handles on the baskets are all leather and stitched by hand. Morgan designs and coordinates the weaving and finishing process. Bolga baskets are strong, durable, and can be used for a large variety of purposes (shopping, laundry, storage, etc.) They look beautiful in your home and will make a treasured gift.
