Whytam Home — also known as Whytam — is an African home goods brand that curates and creates authentic, artisan-made pieces from across the continent. Each item tells a story of heritage and craftsmanship, blending traditional artistry with modern design for the intentional home.

Every Whytam product is handcrafted in Africa. We work directly with local artisans in various regions — not factories — ensuring each piece carries the genuine touch, story, and tradition of its origin.

While many brands mass-produce “African-inspired” decor overseas, Whytam offers true African craftsmanship. We source directly from artisans, preserve cultural practices, and ensure fair compensation — keeping history, meaning, and authenticity alive in every creation.

We curate handmade African home goods including woven baskets, wall art, hand-carved wooden decor, textiles, ceramics, and rare vintage finds — all produced in small batches to ensure quality and cultural integrity.

Because our collections are handmade in limited quantities, some designs may not return once sold out. However, we often collaborate with the same artisans to create new editions inspired by traditional craftsmanship.

We partner directly with artisans and cooperatives across Africa, building ethical, long-term relationships. Our model ensures artisans receive fair pay, sustainable income, and recognition for their artistry — helping preserve traditional crafts for future generations.

Yes. Sustainability is at the heart of Whytam’s philosophy of slow living. Our products are made from natural, locally sourced materials using age-old techniques that respect the environment and the maker’s craft. We prioritize quality over quantity and avoid mass production.

Each piece is unique and handmade, so gentle care is best:
• Avoid moisture and prolonged direct sunlight
• Wipe with a soft, dry cloth
• Allow natural materials to age gracefully — patina and texture changes are part of their charm

Yes! Whytam Home ships worldwide. All items are carefully packaged to protect your handcrafted pieces during transit. Shipping rates and delivery times vary by location and will be displayed at checkout.

We don’t currently offer in-person visits, but we share the stories, faces, and creative processes of our artisans on our website and social media. Follow us for behind-the-scenes stories that connect you directly to the makers.
