Fan - Handmade
We stock a range of hand made sun fans.
Made in Ghana, West Africa from Elephant grass.
The grass is seasonally harvested by the Fra Fra people. The grass is boiled and dried before the weavers split each length and then roll the two strands back together. These durable strands are then woven, which takes 3-7 days depending on the size.
Purchasing these items helps to honour and preserve the traditional craft of weaving, while maintaining a long term fair trade relationship with the weavers.
You may soak your item in water and reshape as desired.
