which recently made its way over by sea from Bolgatanga to Vancouver and then to Salt Spring Island.
We have a wide variety of baskets for the home..art baskets for the wall, baskets for plants, baskets for laundry, baskets for storage and baskets that will take their place as a handwoven piece of art and so much more!! There are a variety of materials, techniques, colours and weavers
from every area of the world. So much time, energy and dedication goes into these items which we consider truly a treasure. When you buy one of our baskets...your purchase not only contributes to a fair sustainable income for these weavers in the developing world but also provides you with a handmade item where traditional techniques have been passed down through generations. On Salt Spring Island at our store, we are known for our Bolga Baskets. These market
baskets are made in Bolgatanga, Ghana, by men and women of the Gurunsi tribe. These baskets are woven from elephant grass. The Bolga Basket has been around for decades now and is known as the perfect market basket. Our basket weavers from Ghana have become part of our Mondo family. So we reached out over the last year and a half with continued support. We were able to continue orders...giving the weavers work to sustain this time. Your support has helped us to fill a container
So...here we are with plans for our upcoming holiday season and hundreds of baskets to introduce to you!! We will be bringing them to the FIESTA World Craft Bazaar Shows in Duncan and Courtenay during the month of November.... so look out for us as we bring you our newest collections of treasures! You can also find us at our locations..and remember... We are more than just a store, we are a place where you can visit, explore and connect with artisans around the world… Mondo & Company Salt Spring Island 118 Lower Ganges Road, Salt Spring Island, 250 931-2553
