Crafted by the artisans from the Luangwa Artisan Collective, this one-of-a-kind placemat is made from natural grass that surrounds our local community here in Zambia. Handwoven and modern, these placemats effortlessly complement any table setting.

The artisans from Luangwa Artisan Collective are independent artisans that work out from Tribal Textiles, and all sale proceeds go directly to them and their families. We train those local artists in product development and business skills such as merchandising, accounting and pricing. We work with them to create beautiful products and give them access to local and international wholesale markets. We built for them an all-weather work and market place on Tribal Textiles ground, where they can sell to visitors.
