Placemat - Woven

Weaving is an ancient craft that has formed an integral part of African culture for thousands of years, preserved by the transmission of skills and knowledge from generation to generation. The diverse styles, patterns, and shapes we see are often unique to specific tribes and have come to reflect each community's location, resources, culture, and needs.

Weaving provides much-needed additional income for the rurally based craftspeople who create our placemats and it is an important source of independence and empowerment for them and their families. In many cases, their only source of income is the earnings they generate from weaving.

Our timeless placemats are a beautiful way to add warmth and texture to your table.
