Jemima Akolgo was the first to weave this type of basket in Bolgatanga - so Babatree named this design after her and her master skills. Since then Jemima has taught and inspired many of their weavers with her innovative approach to traditional Gurunsi folklore. Through this design they honour local basket traditions while creating exciting forms with the oldest craft in the world.

New patterns, techniques and dye materials emerge over time as Baba Tree artisans continue to innovate, evolve and understand better the elephant grass they so exquisitely weave by hand. The evolution of their baskets is never rushed to market, but slowly developed to be useful, beautiful and ethical.
