Boon & Up was born out of a desire to help the women weavers of the Dagaaba region in the far north of Ghana continue manufacturing their traditional handwoven cloth and to create employment opportunities in an impoverished part of the world.
Hand-grown and carbon-neutral African cotton is woven on handlooms by women of the Dagaaba people, and our patterns are all based on a traditional template that mimics the feathers of the Guinea fowl. To complete the story, the cotton is dyed in a range of colours that reference the hues that the local Dagaabe people paint their huts and houses.
