Handwoven Décor and Storage Basket
Jemima Akolgo was the first to weave this type of basket in Bolgatanga - so of course we named it after her and her master skills. Since then Jemima has taught and inspired many of our weavers with her innovative approach to traditional Gurunsi folklore. Honouring local basket traditions and creating exciting forms with the oldest craft in the world is what we do best! New ways with weave indeed.
Our weavers are paid well for these baskets. However, they will receive a further 10% of the retail price as a commission in addition to what they were initially paid.
