Embracing the culture and colours of Ghana in West Africa, Adinkra Designs have a range of baskets, planters, fans and kids decor that is the perfect gift for anyone with a social conscience. All their products are handmade by African artisans under their Fairtrade partnership and feature natural, sustainable materials. Suited to every budget and a multi-purpose gift that will offer more than just African glamour in their home. Who better to explain than co-founder Kelly Boateng:
