Single Placemat - Turquoise
Single Placemat - Turquoise
These placemats are handwoven from 'Lutindzi' grass that grows in the mountains. Traditionally used for rope making, the grass is known for its strength and is harvested sustainably.
This is a unique and practical gift that supports a group of over 700 rural women. The women work from home, allowing them to incorporate this income-generating activity into their family life. Read more about the makers here.
Bring a splash of colour to your next table decor or use as an oversize trivet to protect surfaces from hot dishes.
