Crafted by Master Weaver Raymond

These placemats are made especially for Emmela by Raymond, a talented artisan based in Accra, Ghana. Known for his skill and precision, Raymond has perfected a weaving technique that produces a beautiful, organic pattern developed over years of practice.

Natural & Organic Style

Each placemat is woven from 100% Veta Vera (Elephant grass) and edged with cowrie shells sourced in Ghana. The result is a striking mix of natural texture and subtle coastal detail — perfect for both everyday dining and special occasions.

The Beauty of Handmade

No two placemats are exactly alike. Being handwoven, they may carry slight imperfections or variations in weave and finish. These are not flaws but signs of authentic craftsmanship, making each piece unique and full of character — unlike mass-produced factory tableware.
