Sante in her Grandmothers bead shop in Accra circa 2001

SANTE is a London-based accessories brand rooted in Accra, Ghana.

Founded in January 2020, it continues a five-generation family legacy that began in the 1800s with my great-great-grandmother one of the first women to trade beads in Accra.

What started as bead trading evolved into craftsmanship. My grandmother created waist beads and jewellery for women across Ghana, and today my aunt, along with a small group of women artisans in Accra, continues that tradition through beadwork.

Every SANTE piece begins with beads sourced directly from local markets in Accra. We choose family-run suppliers and women-led bead traders, supporting local craft and fair pay.

Each piece is designed in London, made by hand in Ghana, and worn around the world.
