Handwoven Baskets are made using thick elephant grass. Each basket is one of a kind, woven by hand and naturally varied in shape and character. Sarah chose a natural fiber basket that complements our colorful toys and costumes beautifully.

The classic size measures approximately 7 x 7 inches to 10 x 10 inches and is well suited for Spring baskets.The mini size measures approximately 4 x 4 inches to 5 x 5 inches and is perfect for storing small treasures or for little springtime baskets.

How to form your basket:

  1. Lightly spray with water or soak briefly in the sink
  2. Gently shape the basket by hand
  3. Allow to air dry

Absolutely beautiful

This basket is absolutely beautiful! It came a bit smashed as the other reviews have said but after a little cold water it was easily pushed into shape and is absolutely stunning! After it dried it's super sturdy and totally worth every penny. We're going to use it for trick or treating, easter, foraging, and toy storage.

We love Sarah's Silks and are extremely happy with this purchase!!!

How wonderful to hear! We hope the basket brings many adventures

A lovely, sturdy Easter basket.

I wanted to invest in a basket that my one year old granddaughter could use for years, not only for Easter, but for storing toys and treasures. This beautifully made basket exceeded my expectations. I'm delighted with this purchase.

We are thrilled that you are so happy with the Bolga basket! We hope it fulfills many uses for years to come!

I bought this basket to use for Easter and absolutely love that I can use it for multiple purposes—far from the traditional pastel colored basket.

So glad you can find many uses for the Bolga basket!❤️

No other basket can compare

I have purchased this in the past and I love how you can reshape it by spraying water on it. It is great for Easter and a general basket overall. It uses natural grasses from Africa and it is clean and friendly.

We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying the Bolga basket!

I love this basket! My daughter plays with this daily. The basket came deformed, but it was very easy to reshape once wet. Instructions say to spray the basket with water. I put the basket under the sink, and it quickly became soft enough where it was very easy to reshape. The basket dried fairly quickly and looked gorgeous!
I'm going to order another one for toy storage.

We are glad the reshaping instructions were helpful for you! We hope the baskets come in good use for you for many years!

This item is perfect until did arrive smashed. I was a little put off by that as I wanted to use it for Easter, but would have to soak it to revive it.

I am so sorry that happened! We hope you were able to revive it and get some use out of it. If not, please reach out to our customer care team via chat or email and we'll be happy to assist you!
