WHO MADE YOUR BASKET?
Our woven baskets and fans from Ghana are made by a talented group of artisans based in the Upper East Region, under the Burkina Fasso border. The baskets are made with indigenous veta vera which grows abundantly in this hot, dry area. The co-operative we have partnered with is led by Agana, who works closely with the weavers.
