‘SOBREMESA TALKS'

Sharing some of our favorite questions from the interview :)

HAAN: What is the philosophy behind your production process? Can you tell us what 'Sustainability Through Craftsmanship' means?

We started this project with a clear idea: to work on our pieces with love, patience, and delicacy. We believe in sustainability as a philosophy to work on every day: using natural or recyclable materials, valuing the hands that produce them, and promoting the continuity of traditions.

HAAN: Drink that makes you the happiest.

Right now, it's Orijin! It's a Ghanaian herbal liquor, and I love it. Super refreshing.

HAAN: Favorite HAAN product?

SPF 35 Sunscreen. I love it because it's super lightweight and absorbs immediately.

HAAN: Dream to fulfill at Aketekete?

For the company to be self-managed by the artisans.
