Each Lesser Stores basket is a one-of-a-kind piece, handwoven with care by skilled artisans in Ghana.

Basket weaving is a tradition passed down through generations, making each creation a testament to the craftsmanship and cultural heritage of the region.

The raw material, elephant grass, grows naturally in the floodplains of Bolgatanga in northern Ghana. This eco-friendly, sustainable grass is harvested, dried, and dyed using a unique boiling process. The weavers carefully slip and roll the grass strands to enhance its strength, ensuring every basket is durable and beautifully crafted. 

Depending on size and design complexity, each basket takes up to a week to complete, with intricate patterns that reflect the artistry and dedication of the weavers.
