OUR ARTISANS'
HANDS TO YOURS
On the lush floodplains of Northern Ghana, land and sky meld to spark an artistry refined over centuries. Where the swaying elephant grass grows as high as a pachyderm’s eye, this fine balance between the aerial and the terrestrial supports generations of Ghanaians in craft, commerce and sustenance. Nature is at the heart of the construction at JON WESLÉ, where North Ghana’s Bolga baskets embody a transcendent cultural blend of tradition and modernity to meet everyday needs.
JON WESLÈ'S ethos revolves around the conscious consumer's pursuit of modern elegance and is deeply grounded in purpose. Every intricately handwoven bag is a testament to the profound stories carried by the weavers—their hands crafting tales of tradition, passion and empowerment into the very fabric of each creation. With an unwavering commitment to artisanal craft, each JON WESLÈ creation weaves together narratives of resilience, heritage and community. Rooted in the lineage of the indigenous Gurune people, JON WESLÈ'S journey traces back to the historical landscapes of Northern Ghana, where intricate weaving techniques have been cherished for generations.
Through the meticulous handweaving of each JON WESLÈ bag, we pay homage to the stories passed down through generations. This preservation of age-old techniques ensures the rich tapestry of history remains vibrant; the authentic link to artisans celebrated with every knot. This mèlange not only breathes new life into traditional practices, but also paves the way for innovation that respects the past while embracing the present.
