One of a kind – a totally unique item; whether used as a stunning wall decoration or simply to keep cool this stunning fan is sure to please.
Handcrafted fair trade straw fans woven by artisan weavers in Bolgatanga, Ghana. Stylish and eco-conscious
From the strong leather handle to the top the fan measures about 43cms( 18″) and is 30cms (12″) at the widest point.
The handles are bound with cow hide to make them more comfortable to hold.
They are made by hand by a group of weavers in Bolgatanga, Northern Ghana. The grasses used to weave them grow wild and are gathered, prepared and naturally dyed by members of the group, ready to be woven into a unique, biodegradable piece. The women deal with their finances themselves, so are treated fairly. They also receive a large premium to be spent on community projects of their choice.
