    Handmade in Swaziland

    TECHNIQUE - The placemats are produced by braiding long strands of Lutindzi grass together. These plaits are then woven, coiled, shaped, and sewn together.

    MATERIAL - Lutindzi grass is harvested directly from the eSwatini mountains. The sisal, a regenerating weed is sourced from the Lavumisa area.

    All our materials are dyed using environment-friendly German dyes imported from South Africa.

    Easy to clean with a damp cloth or brush with a tooth brush/sponge. 

    32cm (12") - this may vary slightly due to the placemats being handmade.
