Know who made it. Know the hands behind the work.

You’ve seen the beads. Now meet Abdul Rahman, the artisan partner in Ghana whose hands are behind all of ASM’s waist bead strands.

Each strand represents more than beautiful color. It carries skill, patience, tradition, and craftsmanship; made by a real person whose work deserves to be seen, valued, and named.

At Ayebea’s Sankofa Marketplace, knowing who made it matters. Because when you choose handmade, you’re not simply purchasing a product, you’re supporting the artisan behind it.

His name is Abdul. And we want you to know it.

We talk a lot about what we buy—but how often do we ask, “Who made this?”

Behind every basket, bead, and handcrafted piece is a person, a story, and a tradition passed down through generations.

At Ayebea’s Sankofa Marketplace, we invite you to look beyond the product and connect with the amazing people who bring each piece to life.

Know who made it. Honor the hands. Value the story. 💛

Color that speaks. Pieces made to be seen.

From bold baskets to beautiful home accents, every piece in our Bolga Collection is handwoven in Ghana with its own color, character, and story. No two are exactly alike—and that’s part of what makes them special.

Every Bolga basket begins with patience, tradition, and the hands of an artisan who knows the craft one weave at a time. No two are exactly alike—and that’s part of what makes them special.

Now the hard part… which one would you choose? 👀🧺

Which basket would you bring home?

Every basket has a story—and every weave carries the hands, skill, and tradition of the women who made it.

Our Bolga baskets are handwoven by the women of Ayebase Ent. , Bolgatanga, Ghana, using techniques passed down through generations.

When you choose one of our baskets you’re supporting the women behind the craft, their livelihoods, and the continuation of a tradition.

Now the hard part… which one are you choosing?

Fair trade isn’t just a label for us. It’s a relationship.

It means knowing the hands behind what we carry, respecting the skill and tradition that go into each piece, and making sure the people who create them are valued and fairly compensated.

When you shop with Ayebea’s Sankofa Marketplace, you’re not simply buying something handmade—you’re helping keep craftsmanship alive, supporting livelihoods, and becoming part of a story that stretches from Ghana to your home.

Know who made it. Know the story. Shop with purpose.

When the shea butter is so buttery and creamy you just can’t stop touching it! 😂

My 12-year-old is a texture girl, and she LOVES the smooth, rich feel of our handcrafted shea butter. This is what happens when she gets into a batch!

Rich. Creamy. Naturally nourishing.
Handmade with care in Ghana.

And yes… it feels just as good on your skin as it looks! But, don't take our word for it....Grab your very own jar!
