Ani Artisanal was created in 2017 by Rhoda Obineche, an Igbo-Canadian Artist with a passion to create and promote handmade, sustainable goods for natural living. 

The name Ani originates from the Igbo people in Nigeria and is the female Alusi (deity) of the earth, fertility, and creativity in Odinani. She is the most important Alusi in the Igbo pantheon.

Ani is a passion project that allows us to remain connected to our roots while sharing African creativity & craftsmanship with the world.

Our designs are inspired by nature, combining earth tones & natural elephant grass to create functional woven art. We believe our baskets add a touch of minimalism and simplicity to any home, and will last for generations!

Our Vancouver based brand focuses on designing quality lifestyle products that are specially handcrafted by skilled artisans in Bolgatanga, Ghana. 

Our mission is to create sophisticated, unique, handmade lifestyle and baby goods, for people who wish to live an intentional natural lifestyle while supporting artisans in Ghana.
