Simply Mustard Grass Woven Placemats by Gone Rural

These vibrant placemats speak for themselves. Why not mix and match your choice of colour with some of our other coloured mats to achieve a unique colourful setting.

Colourful hand woven grass placemats made by rural artisan eSwatini women.

A unique ethical gift with a story that can be shared round the table.

Our rural women weavers lie at the heart of everything that we do. We provides fair and sustainable income to over 780 skilled weavers across 13 groups and 52 communities in eSwatini. These women are talented artisans, breadwinners, and businesswomen who use their home-based work with Gone Rural to overcome some of the challenges of rural living and enhance the lives of their families and communities.

As the women work they braid three strands together, as their mothers and grandmothers have done before them, they produce these beautiful placemats from long strands of luntindzi grass.
