Meet the Team

Hello! We’re Lizelle and Minda, the proud founders of Wowven.

Our journey started with a shared love for beautifully crafted baskets—a passion that quickly grew into a dream: to bring these treasures into homes across South Africa.

To us, a basket is more than just a storage solution. It’s a piece of art that brings texture, charm, and personality to any space. Every basket we offer is something we personally admire, use, and believe in.

What We Pride Ourselves On

Supporting Local Craftsmanship

Every basket we sell is proudly made in South Africa. When we started, we worked with just four talented weavers — supporting four families. Today we work with seven incredible weavers, and we are proud to keep growing while supporting their craft and livelihoods.

Uplifting Creativity

We believe in upliftment and celebrating skill. We constantly challenge and encourage our weavers to create new designs and explore their creativity using the amazing weaving skills they already have. Over time we’ve built beautiful relationships with every one of them.

Quality You Can Trust

Handmade doesn’t mean compromising on quality. We are committed to offering beautiful, well-made baskets that are durable and timeless — all at competitive prices.

Fresh Finds

We love bringing something new to you. With every order we try to introduce new styles and designs so that there is always something special and unique to discover.
