The market baskets are popular not only because they look great, they are just so versatile:
- Like the name suggests, we think these baskets are perfect for collecting goods at the market, fill your basket up with organic produce at the farmer’s market.
- A much more environmentally friendly option for your regular grocery shopping.
- The size is ideal for storage of toys in the kids room or playroom, books, CD’s, DVD’s magazines, the list is endless!
- With their unique and vibrant designs, the market baskets make a lovely decorative piece for the bohemian inspired home.
- We love taking our woven basket along with us to the beach, it is the perfect size to fit towels, sunscreen, sandals, snacks and sunglasses.
- Similarly, our African baskets make ideal picnic baskets as they can easily fit a picnic blanket, drinks and snacks for the perfect picnic.
Our African market baskets come in many design options, from a simple natural style – in closed or open weave – to a mixed variety of coloured baskets. The coloured baskets are a reflection of the traditional vibrant colours commonly seen in Ghanaian fashion. View the full range of Market Baskets here.

Basket base diameter: 27cm
Top basket length: 45cm
Basket height (not including handles): 38cm

Adinkra are a set of symbols used in Ghanaian culture to capture traditional wisdoms and are an important part of Ghanaian heritage. For our logo, we drew inspiration from the Sankofa symbol for the wisdom in its meaning: “we should reach back and gather the best of what our past has to teach us so that we can achieve our full potential as we move forward”.
We buy all our products directly from African artisans. So when you buy from Adinkra Designs, you are buying more than just a product. You are buying hours of skilled traditional craftsmanship that has been passed on through many generations. Most importantly, when you buy from us, your purchase provides an opportunity out of poverty for the artisan and their family; an opportunity to move forward.
But our desire to help doesn’t end there; a portion of our profits will be dedicated to funding much needed resources and education for children in Ghana. Please click below to learn more about how we are supporting communities in Ghana and how you can be a part of it.
The Adinkra Project
Our family is about to embark on our biggest journey yet. In November, we will be relocating to Accra, Ghana. The girls still have very vivid memories of our last trip to Ghana and they’re very excited to call Ghana home. Kingston has never been, and while I am definitely not looking forward to the plane ride over with a 12 month old, it’s a short pain for long-term gain. I can’t wait to watch him chasing chickens, growing up knowing nothing but outdoor play in nature and simple living. This is such a gift we can give to our children and I can’t wait to hit re-set on our life and let this new journey begin.
One of the most common questions we get asked is which is the most versatile bag out of our top selling Market Basket, Tote Bags and Kalahari Carry Bags? Each one is, of course, beautifully constructed, a unique piece of Africa artisan talent! But this makes it awfully hard to choose between them all. All in all, whatever your preference is, you can feel good knowing that your purchase will go towards supporting African artisans in rural communities.
