Cape Town born and bred, I live in Noordhoek, a mum to two fabulous children and wife to a one of a kind man. The concept of W E E V came about with my ongoing basket obsession and ongoing need to give back in some way.
My poor husband, forever entertaining my fetish, and humouring me, as I slowly but surely fill our home with all things décor. I have a particular passion for woven goods, hence our name being W E E V.
Weevil, also a nickname for my husband as a young boy who couldn’t keep his hands out of things. The name W E E V is a playful fusion of 'weave' and my name, Lee. It's a fun and creative way to represent both elements. And as you may know, 'weave' also refers to all things woven and created by hand. The name seems fitting in so many ways!! Baskets on the walls, in the bedrooms, in the cupboards, outdoors, all over, needless to say our home is a wonderful tribute to the many talented weavers out there. I am forever captivated and so very impressed, by the incredible pieces I manage to find. The patterns, colours, design, and quality, it’s astounding to think that people can create such beauty from natural fibres and from their own bare hands.
