    Story Behind the Art:
    Nana was born to a family of nine children in the town of Kumasi in Ghana, West Africa. His parents divorced when he was only 8 years old and Nana became so rebellious that his mother sent him to live with his father in Tamale (in the Northern region of Ghana) when Nana was 12 years old. It was there that he developed an interest in art. He dropped out of school when he was 14 and started training with a master carver in Tamale. In 2000 Nana began selling his products through Worldstock. Nana is now married with three children and lives in Accra, Ghana. He is now a master carver with his own shop and 10 employees.

    • 3 straw handmade baskets with handles, lovely

      Boy was I happy when I opened the box of baskets! These lovely handmade baskets were all different patterns and colorful too, which is exactly what I wanted. I had seen these baskets at a fiber fair selling for $35 each and was happy to see that I could purchase 3 baskets for less, which allows me to give away a basket as a gift. They will come in useful for my yarn and knitting to carry to a retreat or weekly group event. They shaped easily also. I just sprinkled them with water, baskets only avoiding the handles and worked the body a bit, they dried firm and nicely shapen, thanks Overstock for providing a great product reasonably priced. At first I found them on yoru site but they were out of stock, I signed up for the reminder email when restocked and within a week or so was notified they were available and ordered them, thanks so much, I am very happy with my purchase, my friends also commented on how nice they are and I shared with them they came from Overstock!

      • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes the color variations were similar to the advertising picture
      • Please tell us about the quality of the product. consistent and very nicely made and proportionate
      • How accurate was the sizing? ample sizing as described, two very large size baskets and one slightly smaller

    • Wonderful

      These ghanian baskets are beautifully constructed with beautiful colors and a durable leather wrapped handle. They arrived on time and in great shape. NOTE: during shipping the baskets can arrive slightly smushed down. This is not a problem. Simply wet them and let them dry and they spring back to their original shape. I plan to buy more of these baskets as gifts for friends.

      • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? The colors are great. Expect a variety. I did not receive a green one like in the display pic. These baskets were primarily red, navy, golden brown, light brown. Enough of a color mix to essentially be neutral for most decor.
      • Please tell us about the quality of the product. excellent
      • How accurate was the sizing? good

    • Super Happy

      Like many, I have been coveting these baskets at my local healthfood market for years. They charge almost the same price for one basket that Overstock charges for 3! I finally came looking for them here as I really wanted to give one to a friend as a wedding gift and one to my mother for her birthday. I was so pleased to find them here for a steal! They did come smooshed into a box, but the beauty of these baskets is their ability to be molded into whatever shape you need them to be. I am tickled pink to have three beautiful (and all large) baskets- two to give away and one to keep!

    • WOW!! These are BIG baskets and they are absolutely gorgeous!They are bigger and more attractive than I had invisioned. They did require some hand shaping due to the shipping method, but just dampen them and mold them as you like.

    • Although I like the baskets I am disappointed that all 3 baskets are the same blue color and not the bright colors as promised.

    • A must have

      I love these baskets! They are not only decorative but roomy enough for storage. Be sure to follow instructions provided for reshaping them.

    • Great value for the money!!

      The baskets arrived in great shape (of course it needs a little reshaping;-) I was impressed with the workmanship and overall quality. Good job Overstock!!!

      • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? It was close enough
      • Please tell us about the quality of the product. Excellent quality and great workmanship
      • How accurate was the sizing? Relatively...expected one of them to be a bit bigger

    • Love these baskets!!

      I had seen these baskets at stores and was always tempted to buy them. One day looking for something else I came across the product at Overstock (sometimes I just come into the site to browse) and decided to buy them. They are great!! I keep all sorts of things in them that otherwise would be either out-of-sight -and therefore forgotten-, or dispersed all over, and thus lost to me... By using these baskets, I can keep some order and availability at the same time. They look great in a way that just handmade things can look. It also makes me happy to use a product made by hands so far away from where I live. It connects me to lovely people in Ghana and I like that.

      • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Artesanal products are all different
      • Please tell us about the quality of the product. Great!!
      • How accurate was the sizing? Accurate

    • great deal

      Such lovely baskets for a real great price. The perfect gift for yourself or somebody else. Use one for decorations in your home or take it to the farmers market. They are so versatile. But what I love about buying these beautiful baskets the most is that I am able to help women in Africa to support themselves. In other words to become more independent. So it's a great gift all the way around.

      • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? colors are expected to be different
      • Please tell us about the quality of the product. quality is great
