Empowering Women, Sustaining Communities

More than just a beautiful accessory for your table or home, your purchase of a Classic Placemat directly contributes to ASIGE's vital work. We are dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty by providing fair paid work and sustainable livelihood opportunities for rural women in Ghana. Every intricate weave helps empower these women, enabling them to gain financial independence, support their families, and build brighter futures.

Each Classic Placemat is a unique piece of art, showcasing the precise, tight weaving patterns and the vibrant colours (or natural tones, like the one pictured) that reflect the creativity of our artisans. Made from sustainably sourced elephant grass, these placemats are not only beautiful but also eco-friendly. Their approximately 5mm thickness provides a substantial feel, while the wide array of available patterns ensures you can find the perfect match for your style.
