The Village Market Carryall Basket Tote

Handwoven in small villages throughout Ghana using traditional techniques preserved across generations. Artisans weave renewable banana leaf and elephant grass—materials that grow abundantly in the region—into sturdy, flexible baskets. The leather handles are naturally treated using traditional methods, with color variations that reflect the individual artisan's technique and materials. Each basket represents hours of skilled handwork and cultural heritage.

Perfect for farmers market runs, beach trips, picnics, or everyday shopping. The neutral palette works with any outfit from casual weekend wear to bohemian dresses. Use as home storage for magazines, throws, or plants. Great for travel—collapses flat in suitcases then expands for souvenir shopping. The developing patina on leather handles adds character with each adventure.

Made from fast-growing, renewable resources that regenerate naturally without depleting soil or requiring chemicals. The traditional weaving process has zero environmental impact, while supporting rural Ghanaian communities where these skills provide sustainable livelihoods. By choosing this basket, you help preserve ancient craft knowledge while embracing truly sustainable materials.

Natural variations in grass color and leather handle treatment are authentic signs of handcraft.
