Detailed description

Our WÉNE wooden shoehorns are practical tools designed to help you put on shoes effortlessly, minimizing bending or forcing. Crafted from authentic African wood, such as ebony, teak, or bubinga, these shoehorns are known for their natural beauty and durability.

Featuring an elegant, ergonomic design with a curved end for easy foot entry, our African wooden shoehorns can also be adorned with engravings or traditional African motifs, adding a unique cultural touch.

OUWÉL’s African wooden shoehorns are not only functional but also collectible pieces that highlight exquisite craftsmanship. Celebrated for their quality and aesthetic appeal, they embody a connection to African culture.

WÉNE wood, known as Rosewood or Venne in French, is highly regarded in West Africa for its exceptional qualities, making it ideal for cabinetmaking, heavy framing, and outdoor carpentry. The light brown wood, often streaked with purplish hues, enhances the beauty of any furniture. You'll find WÉNE wood in many of the artisanal items offered by OUWÉL.

Wéne, also referred to as "Palissandre" in Senegal, thrives in the Sahel and Sudan regions of Africa and is sometimes known as rosewood.

How Senegalese Artisanal Products are Made

The production of artisanal products in Senegal involves a blend of traditional techniques and local resources. Artisans start by selecting the finest materials, whether it be vibrant fabrics for clothing or durable clay for pottery. In the case of pottery, artisans shape the clay by hand, often using age-old methods that have been refined over time. For textiles, weaving is done on traditional looms, allowing for complex designs that tell a story. Throughout the process, artisans take great pride in their work, ensuring that each product not only meets high-quality standards but also reflects the cultural identity of Senegal. The result is a range of handcrafted items that are both functional and deeply rooted in tradition.
