From how we source our materials, to the way our products are made & who makes them, our business proudly represents the resourcefulness, vibrance & outlook of this colourful continent. A WEALTH OF RESOURCEFULNESS Our signature Ashanti fabric is hand-woven from the fibres of perfectly good fabric that would otherwise be sent to landfill. We work with incredible craftsmen living out in rural villages. The tools & techniques they use have been passed down through many generations. It's a truly amazing way of life that humbles & inspires us. YOURS IS THE ONLY ONE Because all our products are lovingly handmade to the highest quality standards, every single item is original. No two are quite the same - yours is the only one! As an owner of an Ashanti design, you too become woven into a community where your choice of style is kind & conscious. HEAD, HEART & CRAFT The spirit of Africa can't be explained, it can only really be felt. We see beauty in its chaos, survival in its resourcefulness & triumph in its consistent inconsistencies. That's why everything we do is based on three pillars of sustainability: Environmental, Social & Economical. & much like a solid cast iron potjie pot, we need all three legs to stand. Making something out of nothing is at the heart of the African way. in a year we sorted, stripped & tied (wait for it) 19 million six hundred thousand meters of colourful weft thread. Then we weaved it into 62,000 meters of our signature fabric. All by hand. To think that would have been landfill! We're fully committed to being eco-conscious. We aren't much without the artisans we collaborate with. The techniques & tools they use to make our goods have been passed down for decades. It's an amazing culture that we're proud to share with the world. By bringing our contemporary style to their traditional workmanship, we keep an incredible craft alive & help future generations succeed. This is Africa! Our artisans lead particularly modest lives, based pretty much in the middle of nowhere. We believe in doing our best to strengthen their livelihoods & in making a positive 'Afronomical' contribution at large. From craftsmen to transportation partners & manufacturers, the Ashanti team is all-African. Handmade Colorful African Beanbag Ashanti "Ejoro'
