Last fall, Woven Worldwide proudly participated in the prestigious Shoppe Object High Point Trade Show, a gathering of innovative brands, passionate buyers, and design enthusiasts from across the home and lifestyle industry. This event was more than just a platform to showcase our handcrafted, sustainable baskets—it was an opportunity to share our story, connect with the design community, and reflect on the journey of bringing eco-luxury to modern living spaces.
A Display of Craftsmanship
At our booth, we invited attendees into the world of Woven Worldwide, where every basket tells a story. From the vibrant hues of our elephant grass to the intricate weaving techniques perfected by our artisans in Ghana, our display was a celebration of sustainable craftsmanship.
Highlights from the Event
1. Connecting with Buyers
We met buyers from boutique stores, interior design firms, and global retail brands, all looking for unique, sustainable products to offer their customers. The positive feedback we received reaffirmed the growing demand for artisan-crafted goods that combine beauty with ethical production.
2. Sharing Our Story
The High Point audience was eager to hear about our commitment to sustainability and the artisans behind each piece. We shared how we work directly with communities in Ghana to create opportunities, preserve traditional techniques, and produce eco-friendly designs. This narrative resonated deeply with buyers looking to align with purpose-driven brands.
3. Networking with Fellow Brands
Shoppe Object is a treasure trove of inspiration, and we were thrilled to connect with other like-minded brands that share our values of craftsmanship and innovation. These connections sparked new ideas and potential collaborations that we’re excited to explore.
Why Shoppe Object Matters to Us
Participating in Shoppe Object is more than just showcasing products—it’s about making connections that matter. As a growing brand, the exposure to key decision-makers and tastemakers in the design industry is invaluable. But beyond the business opportunities, it’s a chance to align with a community that values creativity, sustainability, and authenticity.
This year was particularly special, as we reflected on the challenges we’ve faced and the progress we’ve made. Trade shows like High Point remind us why we started Woven Worldwide: to bring the beauty of Ghanaian craftsmanship to homes worldwide while empowering the artisans who make it possible.
What’s Next for Woven Worldwide
As we look ahead, we’re already planning for the next big event: Shoppe Object New York in February. We’re excited to continue sharing our story, debuting new designs, and connecting with even more retailers who value high-quality, sustainable products.
Thank You for the Support
We couldn’t have done this without the support of our community, both online and offline. Whether you visited us at Shoppe Object or have been following our journey, your encouragement fuels our mission to bring sustainable luxury to the forefront of modern living.
