Timeless curves. Living heritage. Woven legacy.

This basket blends modern design sensibility with deep ancestral roots. Named after Jemima Akolgo, the first woman in Bolgatanga to weave this innovative silhouette, each basket carries her legacy in every thread. Her artistry sparked a movement in her community, creating a style now celebrated worldwide.

Handwoven from 100% elephant grass using techniques passed down through generations, these baskets can take up to four days to complete. The secure double-strand twist technique enhances durability while preserving the graceful movement of the form, allowing each piece to function as both heirloom and sculpture.

This basket doesn’t just hold objects, it holds history, pride, and artistry.
