Meet Priscilla Agyeman, whose creative eye gives reclaimed glass a new life as jewelry through Kor.Le.Kour Accessories. She gathers glass from local bars, restaurants, and clients’ homes, shaping it into pieces to wear and treasure.

Priscilla also works with Krobo bead makers in Odumasi, bringing her love of culture and beadmaking together in every design. Her work reflects a thoughtful connection between contemporary creativity and Ghanaian craft.

Vida Akpetiyo Narh’s beadwork carries the Krobo heritage she grew up with, where beadmaking is part of everyday life. She creates bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and waist beads, bringing cultural symbolism together with her own contemporary touch. Her niece Gina’s encouragement helped Vida turn a personal love of beads into a business.

Vida is also a seamstress, making headbands, bandanas, table runners, and placemats for the marketplace. Her story includes supporting her family through her craft, and she hopes to pass beadmaking on by teaching younger generations.

A discarded coconut shell can hold the beginning of another story. Akooshi transforms these shells into useful, handcrafted pieces for the home, bringing fresh purpose to a familiar natural material.

Their work extends to sharing skills through mentorship and internships with students from St. John’s Technical Institute in Nandom. Akooshi has also collaborated with Made 51 and UNHCR on opportunities for refugees to learn craft skills.

At Ayebea’s Sankofa Marketplace, we celebrate the creativity and people behind these pieces, from the first shell to the finished design you bring home.

Naomi Osabutey is a seamstress who designs clothing in vibrant African prints. She also works with women in her community who are eager to learn sewing, sharing her knowledge as she creates.

Naomi’s designs aim to help customers feel confident and joyful. Looking ahead, she hopes to establish a fashion school for young people in her community and, in time, build her own company.

Craft is a family connection for Vitus Amoah. At the Accra Art Centre, he and his father bring care and close attention to handcrafted leatherwork.

From bags and fans to necklaces, baskets, and home décor, their work brings practical use together with artistic expression. Behind each piece is time, skill, and the personal touch of its makers.

A new chapter for denim, rooted in textile tradition. Elijah Ampong Siaw is the designer behind the Denim Fusion Collection, bringing upcycled denim together with vibrant Ankara and Bogolan.

His work connects familiar materials with a fresh creative vision, blending cultural heritage and contemporary style. Through our fair trade partnership, we celebrate the skill and individual expression behind each piece.

Meet the women whose skilled hands bring our Sabruka-sourced shea butter to life. Based in Ghana’s Upper East Region, the women of Sabruka Shea Village Foundation carry shea-making knowledge into the everyday care you bring home.

At Ayebea’s Sankofa Marketplace, we buy directly from the Foundation. Choosing our Sabruka-sourced products helps sustain that direct purchasing relationship, keeping the makers and their craft at the heart of the story.

From a simple jar of unrefined shea butter to the shea used in our AHOTƆ body butters, their work connects daily care with Ghanaian heritage and the people behind it.
