Step into the rich tapestry of Ghanaian folklore with Anansi’s Web, inspired by the legendary trickster, Kwaku Anansi. Known for his cunning and charm, Anansi is a cultural symbol of resilience and creativity, weaving his way through life’s challenges. At Woven Worldwide, we see his web not just as a story, but as a metaphor for the inter-connected of people and their shared histories.

Anansi’s Web celebrates the ongoing journey of African descendants returning to their ancestral lands—Ghana and beyond. These seekers, drawn to the ‘center of the world’s web,’ are rediscovering a sense of belonging and identity within a culture that has endured and thrived despite the devastating impact of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. This basket embodies their journey: a harmonious blend of heritage, craftsmanship, and community.

Crafted with titan-level artistry, Anansi’s Web features intricate, low-slung waves and curvatures that mirror the spider’s skillful weaving. Every basket is a testament to the artistry of Ghana’s matriarchal artisans, whose expertise elevates home décor into timeless heirlooms.

A Story in Every Weave

Each Anansi’s Web basket takes 21 days to create—21 days of dedication, skill, and cultural pride. When you bring this piece into your home, you’re connecting with the spirit of craftsmanship and a story of resilience woven into every strand.

Materials with Meaning

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.

Features:

  • Handcrafted Excellence: Made by expert artisan matriarchs in small batches.
  • Cultural Significance: Each basket is a narrative of heritage, identity, and connection.

Anansi’s Web is more than just home décor—it’s a symbol of history, community, and enduring beauty. Add a piece of this profound story to your home, and become part of a legacy that transcends borders and time.

Care

Your Woven Worldwide item will maintain its handcrafted qualities if it is not directly exposed to damp or wet environments. Repeated contact with water will cause the appearance of the reed in the 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.

There are sometimes tone variations in the colour of the reed and this is a natural feature due to when the grass was harvested. The basket's new home will most likely be in a climate other than the one in which it was made. The reed's tri-tone nature may appear in tones ranging from pale green to mustard to raw honey, which may age as it oxidizes in it's new home. This is also determined by the date the grass was harvested. This is a normal maturation process for straw; it is not a flaw or blemish. 

For any further questions, we invite you to send us an email, where our team will be delighted to assist you with your questions.
