Gye Nyame
“Gye Nyame “ ( Except For God)
The Story Beneath Your Feet. This is more than a carpet; it is a sacred thread in the long fabric of Ghanaian heritage. The symbol you see, Gye Nyame, comes from the Akan people. It means: “Except for God.” It speaks of power, but also humility. It reminds us that no force is greater, no hand mightier, or presence more enduring than God's. For centuries, this symbol was reserved for kings, priests, and the keepers of tradition. Today, it lives in your space, woven not just with yarn, but with meaning. Each loop of this rug is made with care, and each color is chosen to carry the spirit of faith and strength. Place it where you gather, where you walk, where you rest. Let it remind you: You are protected. You are connected. You are standing on a story far older and far stronger than anything made by hands alone.
