Genuine Bolga baskets are exclusively woven by the indigenous Gurune, also known as Frafra people, around the town of Bolgatanga in Northern Ghana. For many generations, weaving has been a traditional skill of the people there. Depending on the size, a basket takes about 3 days to make. Some shapes and patterns are more difficult to weave and take longer.
