About Boon & Up

Boon & Up produce a range of beautiful homeware products carefully crafted in rural north Ghana. Their cushions, blankets and rugs have all been expertly handwoven by a collective of women weavers. The cotton that goes into their blankets and cushions is 100% carbon-neutral cotton grown by smallholder African farmers under the 'Cotton made in Africa' initiative, and the cotton has been dyed colours that reference the hues that the local Dagaaba tribe use to paint their houses. The surplus wool for the rugs is sourced from mills in north England.

Boon & Up have set out from the start to create attractive and high quality pieces and products, and by remaining authentic to tradition while adapting the designs for a new market, much needed employment will be brought to this impoverished part of our world. In addition 20% of Boon & Up profits are being invested in projects that will provide further employment opportunities in the district.
