the story
In northern Ghana, elephant grass becomes art.
Around Bolgatanga, weavers twist elephant grass into tight strands, dye it with plant-based colors, and weave it by hand into pieces made for everyday life. Finished with genuine leather, each one is as useful as it is beautiful.
twisted by hand
Each strand of elephant grass is split and twisted tight before weaving, which gives every piece its strength.
dyed with plants
Color comes from vegetable dyes, so every pattern shifts a little from piece to piece.
made to wave or hang
Leather-wrapped handles make it easy to hold on a warm day, or to hang as wall art.
