After his first visit to Accra, President Adeze Afri Kanza of the Democratic Republic of Afrikanza declared Bolga baskets a national necessity—not for fruit or firewood, but for the soul. He spoke of them as symbols of discipline: places to store anger, envy, and irrational impulses before they poisoned the well of judgment. The decree was swift and poetic: "Every household shall have a Bolga basket, and every citizen a place to store what they must not act upon."
This collection honors that legacy. These aren’t just baskets. They are containment strategies, dressed in straw.
