Coloured Bolga Bags - solid

The colourful Bolga bags are a joy in knitted form. Each one is hand made from elephant grass that grows in the Northern Ghana region, one of the poorest parts of the country. The colourful patterns are not just an esthetic feature - they often express stories, traditions or the personality of the knitter him- or herself. It takes 2-5 days to produce one bag, depending on the complexity of the pattern. The art of knitting has been passed down from generation to generation in Bolgatanga and is the sole means of livelihood for many families. By purchasing these bags, you are helping to improve the living conditions in the local community - all proceeds go directly to the knitters and to development projects in their area. 💡 Tip: Colourful bags can easily brighten up any outfit and give it a unique character. If they get deformed during transport, just wet them with cold water, shape them back to its original form and leave them to dry.
