Artisans in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana weave these beautiful and durable shoppers from thick, tough elephant grass. Bolga baskets stand up to use and abuse and remain functional and beautiful for years.  This bag is designed to be a beach basket: the perfect size to fit towels, sunscreen, sandals, snacks and sunglasses. But, it's versatile! You could easily use it as a picnic basket, as it can easily fit a picnic blanket, drinks and snacks for the perfect picnic. The leather wrapped handle adds to the durability. Perfect for shopping at your favorite market. 

Approximate size: 17 in x 19 in.

This item is fairly made in Africa. The artisans use their earnings to put food on the table and pay educational expenses for their children.

Aesthetically Driven

Bringing happiness to life’s daily necessities.





billy + jess

In 2011, Billy + Jessica launched Son of a Sailor out of their East Austin home. Before they were even married, they knew they wanted to join forces creatively. Over a decade later, Son of a Sailor has become a staple Central Texas brand with two brick & mortar locations. Get to know the hands behind the goods.

deep in the heart of texas

While Jess was born in Texas, Billy "got here as fast as he could" as they say. Each having moved around the country more than their fair share, Billy and Jess met in San Francisco, and before too long Billy brought Jess back home.

A graphic designer and screenprinter by trade, Billy’s work takes on organic forms while Jessica’s background in fine art photography gives her a strong eye for framing, precision and composition. Son of a Sailor was born out of their shared love of thoughtful design and the ways it can spark joy in the lives of others.

Carefully Curated

With the belief that a rising tide raises all ships, they work hard to preserve the art of the handmade. Much of the inspiration behind Son of a Sailor's products comes from the application of color, pattern and geometry to materials with a rich history and story.

In our shop, you’ll find jewelry and lifestyle goods ranging from beaded earrings and bracelets to painted keychains, playful home goods and men’s leather accessories—all of which are designed with the intent of bringing happiness to life’s daily necessities.
