About the Product Creator
There’s no truer statement for Ghanian native, Hamish Kwesi Burns, whose lifelong passion for celebrating culture and supporting local economy gave rise to Jungle Direct.
Born in Ghana to a local marketplace retailer and a highly-regarded wholesale merchant, Hamish and his brothers grew up surrounded by colour, craftspeople, and trade. For as long as he can remember, he watched the daily trading of artisan baskets and crafts – the way it should be done; with absolute respect for the product and the craftspeople.
Decades on, now calling Australia home, Burns saw a gap in the market; for a wholesale vehicle to facilitate the real fair trading of traditional products from his hometown, and other global communities just like it.
Jungle Direct was born from a deep respect for heritage, traditional crafts and above all, fair trade that truly makes a difference – to the talented local craftspeople we buy from.
In partnership with his brothers, who are still on the ground in Ghana, Burns trades with absolute confidence in both his products and trade processes; because he’s able to ensure traditional products are imported with care and their craftspeople are daily compensated for their hard work and talent.
Expanding their sights to local communities in Brazil, Jungle Direct now works with artisans there to bring their woven creations to the world with the same care, attention to detail, and regard for the creators that Hamish ensures in Ghana.
