We want to make sure that Woven Worldwide is a good fit for the companies we work with and that our woven baskets are represented well. If you would like more information on how to partner, please contact us with information about your shop.

Each cowrie shell is carefully woven in a circular direction within the elephant grass. The woven basket's base has a counter-clockwise bordered weave that gives rigidity and ensures long-lasting quality.

Handcrafted using elephant grass, a sustainably sourced, durable fiber, this woven basket takes roughly 4 days to complete. 

This handcrafted storage basket was produced in our design workshop in Accra, Ghana, by an artist who has learned handweaving skillset from matriarchs in the community.

Your Woven Worldwide item will maintain its handcrafted qualities if it is not directly exposed to damp or wet environments and is stored inside its cloth case when not in use. Repeated contact with water will cause the appearance of the reed in woven product (whether it is in its authentic reed or pigmented) to experience discolouration. Prolonged pressure from heavy objects will cause the shape of the product to be distorted. It is best to limit the exposure of such elements to preserve the authentic look and feel of your product.

When using cosmetics, perfumes or any alcohol-based solutions such as hand sanitizers, please take time to be sure that they are dry on your skin before engaging with Woven Worldwide products.
