woven worldwide

Woven Worldwide is a socially-conscious, home décor brand that specializes in high-quality, eco-credential, handcrafted baskets produced by intergenerational artisans in Ghana.

A message from the founder: I took a trip to Ghana and engaged with 5 women basket-weaving artisans. We were gathered as women under the limb of the baobab tree; we crafted, laughed, and didn’t let language barriers separate us. As we continued to bond, we weaved a symbolic exchange of knowledge and cultural practices, which planted a seed to create Woven Worldwide. The company name speaks of an ideology. A coming together of humanity. Today, our business model offers functional employment to basket weaving artisans - with 78% of our value chain comprising disenfranchised grandmothers, mothers, aunts, and daughters, fostering and guaranteeing food security, access to healthcare, and post-secondary education to their dependents. Each handwoven item is carefully crafted using elephant grass; a robust, tri-tone, renewable, tropical grass that grows in bamboo-like clusters; beside streams of living water and does not require fertilization for cultivation.
