Our story
Welcome to The Kind label. The Kind is a personal journey combined with a start-up business. The idea behind the Kind started to from when I was pregnant with our oldest daughter 5 years ago. What would it mean for me in my new role as a mom that I’m halve Ghanaian? What would I be able to pass on to her?
On my exploration journey through Ghana I collaborated with different artisans. We combined our knowledge of natural materials, their cultural craft and my vision on contemporary design. Slowly and actual business started to form, and besides our beautiful daughter, the Kind was born. With our products we try to create a dialog between the different cultures, while making natural and unique products that are here to last.
Hope you like it! :)

basket
For many generations, weaving has been a traditional skill of the people in Bolgatanga, Upper East Ghana . Basket weaving has helped bring much needed income to the villages surrounding Bolgatanga. Weaving is a traditional skill, which has been handed down from generation to generation. The baskets are made from kinkahe or elephant grass which grows in swamps and along rivers across Ghana, and is favoured by elephants, hence the name.
