The Stay Flow is a handwoven Bolga basket bag. Pick it up and go.

It is the easiest bag we make to carry: a flowing form that stays light in the hand yet opens up to hold a full day's worth of things. It carries you from a gallery opening to the market to a slow walk into town without ever looking out of place.

Behind that ease is real intent. Bettina McILwraith designed the shape, and a hand-picked team of our most accomplished weavers brought it to life from tough elephant grass in Bolgatanga, Ghana. Leather handles, built to last.

The form is hers. The weave is theirs. The bag is yours.

The weaver of your basket will receive 10% of the retail price as a commission on top of what they were initially paid upon completion of their basket.

You will receive the basket in the picture. In our photos, baskets are presented by the weavers who created them.

"I tell my friends, that it is hand made by one artisan, and that it is unique, we all admire how well and strongly it is made, and the beautiful design outshines anything we have seen in Australia, we dont have a culture of hand work and it will always be admired"

The basket is gorgeous. Beautifully made with wonderful colours. I watched the video about getting the basket back in to shape. It was very easy, I soaked it in the bath for 20 minutes and it returned to its original shape.
