STORY
Kwaku Anansi, also known as Anansi the Spider, is a popular Ghanaian folklore about a charismatic spider who frequently found himself weaving his way out of sticky situations.
Woven Worldwide sees Anansi's Web as a contemporary ideology; a visual portrayal of the repatriation of the African peoples returning to Ghana (and other African countries) from all over the world seeking ancestry, identity, and answers after the Transatlantic Slave Trade threatened to destroy their humanity.
When visiting Ghana, Black people have come to the center of the world wide web, the hub, the Meridian, to be 'caught' by the awe of belonging to an ancient culture they have only read about, till now, are at liberty to receive.
Anansi's Web embraces both origin craftsmanship and the highest level of basketry, with Titan-level craftmanship, curvy, tactile and low-slung waves. Our work aims to increase the integrity of our home décor choices as well as and the skilled artisan matriarchs who co-craft them.
Each Anansi's Web is designed and crafted with eternal durability in mind, and produced in small batches. When you engage with this item, you are interacting with 21 days in the life of an artisan, wrapped in functional dignity.
Materials
Our elephant grass is a robust, renewable, tri-tone, tropical-scented straw indigenous to Ghana's Bolgatanga region, gathered and firmly planted by streams of living water. Each reed that is meticulously intertwined into the next depicts one human crossing Ghana and life's loom in quest of true origins and connecting with others through travel, thereby expanding their web of community.

FAQs
General Enquiries
Throughout the year, Woven Worldwide introduces new product lines. Each product is designed and crafted with eternal durability in mind, and is produced in small batches.
Will the grass look exactly like it does on your website?
Due to the natural characteristics of elephant grass, each woven basket may have a slight variation in reed colour. This is determined by when the grass was harvested, woven, and how long it dried in the sun. The natural reed gradient ranges from pale green to beige to mustard yellow. This gradient is a beautiful natural feature that should be admired.
