A great way to brighten up a room!

These elephant grass pendants are intricate and beautifully made. You will want to mix and match them to set the ultimate mood in a room and help accent your furniture and home decor style. 

  • Made Fairly: These delicately textured and handcrafted woven fans were made by groups of women in intimate communities in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana in an ethical, fair trade environment.
  • Grass for Elephants: The material used is elephant grass which is only available in the southern part of Ghana. Kumasi to be precise. The grasses are harvested and dried up, which takes up to three (3) days. It’s then tied together in big bundles and transported to the Bolga markets where most weavers buy their raw materials. The straw is then split, and rolled/twisted for texture before being dyed to give a vibrant color before weaving begins.
    • Artisans make things using traditional crafting methods in line with sustainable and eco-friendly practices.
    • The materials of the product can be broken down through environmentally harmless natural processes and are made from sustainable materials and plant by-products.
    • Materials that can decompose into soil whether through a natural process or in an industrial composting facility.
    • Products designed to cause the least harm to people and the environment through their production, disposal or both, often using reclaimed or recycled materials.
    • A formalized or witnessed organizational commitment to upholding moral standards including fairness, honesty, and expectations of responsiveness and accountability.
    • These products are made so that social, environmental, and economic standards are met to improve the lives of communities. Workers are ensured fair prices, livable wages, and direct and transparent deals.
    • Products made by hand on a small scale and are meant to last, all without using large energy-consuming factories and production facilities.
    • This ethical practise also aims to educate women and providing opportunities to support themselves, their communities, and encouraging other women to do the same.
    • Crafted with locally available resources typically derived from plants, animals, or other naturally occurring materials.
    • Materials that can be regeneratively produced like those made from plants and animals. This has a lower environmental impact compared to artificial products and metal.
