The oval-shaped Bolga market basket is a beautiful and sturdy basket that you can use as a tote or storage basket. The delicate open weave pattern makes it a perfect summer bag for a day at the beach.

Artisans in Ghana weave bold, beautiful baskets. Designed with a Nordic twist, these baskets combine Nordic design and Ghanan handicraft to a multifunctional basket.

The handmade market basket is woven from elephant grass, which grows naturally in the north of Ghana. Both durable and flexible, elephant grass baskets can be easily cleaned and reshaped by moistening them with water.

The idea of Mifuko was born amongst the colourful bustle of a market in Nairobi, Kenya. Minna lived in Kenya at the time, and her close friend Mari was visiting. They had become acquainted while studying textile design at Aalto University. As they wandered around the market they were amazed by the craftsmanship of the artisans selling their goods. Shortly thereafter in 2009, Minna and Mari founded Mifuko with a clear goal: combine Nordic design and traditional African handicraft skills to form a business that directly benefits the people of rural Kenya.

Today Mifuko is a successful Fair Trade company, and our work is ever more urgent. In Kenya, climate change has led to recurring droughts making farming, traditionally the primary source of income and sustenance, an unreliable foundation for a stable livelihood. The income artisans earn from Mifuko helps ensure families are fed and cared for when crops can no longer provide security.
