SIKABOTO DELACOVA
About Us
We are a purpose-led lifestyle brand that connects people through modern design.
For us, it is important to know the origin of the products we buy, as well as the impact of our consumption—not only on the environment, but also on the communities and individuals that create them.
Our Mission
We believe in slow design. We’ve connected with artisan groups from around the globe to preserve and honor traditional artistry, and we love the idea of limited edition, small-batch homewares that can be admired for a very long time.
For that reason, everything we curate is handcrafted and produced in partnership with our network of weavers in the North of Ghana. These world-class artisans, mostly women, apply traditional weaving skills, passed down from generation to generation over centuries.

1. Veta Vera
The process unfolds in a series of carefully orchestrated steps. It all starts with the humble Veta Vera, also known as elephant grass, which is exclusively harvested in Ghana. This robust grass, towering over three meters in height, is sustainably gathered multiple times during the rainy season, leaving it undisturbed for future growth.

2. Time to Harvest
Once harvested, the grass is meticulously dried for weeks before selection. Basket weavers delicately split the strands using their teeth and roll the straw to create a twisted texture. After this, dyeing commences, where a delicate dance of proportions and soaking times results in a rich spectrum of colors.

3. Endless Coloured Rows
Now prepared, weaving begins from the base, with each row incorporating various colors and patterns, showcasing the weaver's creativity. As the top edge is meticulously finished and handles are added, the basket's structural integrity solidifies. Ultimately, the finished Anansi basket stands as a testament to the artistry and dedication of its maker, ready to embark on its journey to homes around the world.
