GMH & TC's Elephant Grass Collective
We follow this philosophy by supporting local peoples to provide a better life for themselves and their families while fostering local culture and craftsmanship. Working with a collective of 200 women in Ghana, they create our unique, hand-woven Elephant Grass baskets and Sunhats. We provide them a stable, above living wage income and National Health Care coverage, ensuring access to help against Malaria; the greatest killer amongst children under 10. Great items and a great cause - an artistic interpretation of cultural values and ideas. Each basket is one of a kind! Our beautifully handwoven Straw Hats have adjustable leather chin straps and wide brims. They are wonderful sun hats and will last for years. Like our baskets, they can be shaped and reshaped by wetting them with water, pushing them into shape and letting them air dry. A piece of art for under $50!
