Woven Worldwide is a socially conscious home décor brand renowned for its exceptional range of high-quality, handcrafted, sustainable baskets made by skilled artisans based in Ghana.
In 2018, the founders of Woven Worldwide embarked on a journey to Ghana, where they connected with five talented women artisans. Under the shade of the majestic baobab tree, these women formed an unbreakable bond, transcending language barriers through the universal language of craft, laughter, and camaraderie. This profound cultural exchange sowed the seeds of Woven Worldwide, a name that symbolizes the coming together of humanity.
At present, their business model thrives on providing meaningful employment opportunities to artisan leaders, with an impressive 78% of their value chain comprising underserved grandmothers, mothers, aunts, and daughters. This commitment fosters food security, access to healthcare, and ensures post-secondary education for their dependents.
Every handwoven item crafted by Woven Worldwide is a testament to their dedication to sustainable practices. The artisans weave each piece using elephant grass, a robust and renewable tropical grass that naturally grows in bamboo-like clusters. The cultivation of this grass requires no pesticides or fertilizers, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
