Style masters Baba Tree Basket Co. have been preserving the basket-weaving culture of the Gurunsi people in Bolgatanga in Ghana for over 15 years, and remain committed to creating job sustainability with fair and meaningful work opportunities for the community. They work closely with over 250 artisans, each trained by elders with craftsmanship skills handled with honour over generations. We love these baskets and easily rank them into our top ten ‘Slow Made Wonders of the World*.
