Jemima 10 Cows Basket - Ebony and Natural
More than storage, the Jemima 10 Cows Basket - Ebony and Natural is a tribute to mastery, legacy, and the soulful artistry of Ghanaian craftswoman Jemima Akolgo.
This basket blends modern design sensibility with deep ancestral roots. Named after Jemima, the first woman in Bolgatanga to weave this innovative silhouette, each basket carries her legacy in every thread, while its rich tones and fine texture make it a standout piece in any space.
Timeless curves. Living heritage. Woven legacy.
These mid-sized baskets can take up to four days to weave, skillfully crafted by master artisans using a secure double-strand twist technique. This method not only enhances their durability but also makes them ideal as timeless heirloom pieces.
Handwoven from 100% elephant grass using traditional methods passed down through generations, this basket doesn’t just hold your items, it holds history, pride, and artistry.
Too often, home organization feels cold and purely functional, filled with impersonal, mass-produced containers that lack meaning or presence. When everything looks the same, how do you make your space feel like yours?
You’re searching for pieces with purpose. For objects that elevate your home while honouring culture, sustainability, and story. You want every corner to feel considered, curated, and rich with intention.
