Adu Bookends

Founded in 2007, Indego Africa is a nonprofit social enterprise propelling the creation, growth, and sustainability of women-owned businesses in Africa. From the fine raffia weaving in their bags to the woodcarving in their homewares, the brand provides women and youth with the vocational skills, business know-how, and pipeline to global markets to become self-sufficient entrepreneurs. Stained using "soot," a Ghanian stain that gives the wood a rich dark color, the Adu Bookends add art and elegance to any shelf, room, or mantle.

Care Instructions
