Founder Gregory MacCarthy started weaving stories with baskets a few years after his first trip to Ghana in 1999. The Baba Tree Basket Company has been preserving the culture of baskets in Bolgatanga—a remote town in the Upper East Region of Ghana, otherwise known as ‘’the city of baskets,’’ for the last 15 years. Beautifully handwoven from locally-sourced straws, each and every fair-trade basket is unique.
