Osei-Duro
”Osei-Duro was created by Maryanne Mathias and Molly Keogh as a one-time experiment of design and production in a completely unknown place: Ghana, West Africa.
The project has now evolved into textile based collections that take traditional production techniques and bring them into new shape and form.”
“The Dzidefo Women’s Cooperative has 10 members who work out of the Ryvanz-Mia Orphanage, in Kpando, Ghana. Each member has a role, such as treasurer or fabric buyer, and each member also puts a percentage of her earnings back into the business. By working closely with the women Osei-Duro is able to teach new skills, pay fairly, and maintain good quality.”
Here are some of the products from their new Fall/Winter collection
It’s a project you can feel good about splurging some extra dough flow on.

Blog - I find their blog interesting because they not only document their progress of the company but their life and the culture in Ghana.
