SIBEBE: Natural Trim Flower Placemat

Introduce a touch of natural artisan craft to your table with these exquisite flower design placemats, hand woven from indigenous lutindzi grass in rural eSwatini (formerly Swaziland). A petal trim enlivens each of these handwoven placemats, framing a circle of natural fibre. This wiry grass grows wild in the mountainous regions of eSwatini. Lutindzi is naturally waxy in nature which makes it water and stain-resistant and therefore ideal for tableware. These baskets are meticulously woven by craftswomen working within fair trade cooperatives in rural eSwatini. Purchasing one of these colourful woven baskets supports the ongoing work of Gone Rural, a not for profit organisation empowering 770 artisans all over the country with the training and the means to create beautiful handicrafts from the local materials available to them. This organisation works to improve local healthcare, education and sanitation through the provision of this sustainable employment. You can meet the weavers from eSwatini here. Spot clean with a damp cloth or dry brush with a toothbrush. MATERIAL: Lutindzi Grass (Indigenous to eSwatini & grows wild in the mountains).
