What is Elephant Grass?

Elephant grass, also known as Napier grass or Sudan grass, is a tall perennial grass that grows in tropical and subtropical regions. It is widely used as animal fodder, biofuel, and roofing material. It is also a popular material for basket weaving, as it is durable, flexible, and easy to dye.

Elephant grass is harvested by cutting the stems near the ground and leaving them to dry in the sun. The dried stems are then split into thin strips and soaked in water to make them pliable. The strips are then dyed with natural or synthetic colors and woven into various shapes and patterns.

Elephant grass is a sustainable and eco-friendly material, as it grows quickly, requires little water and fertilizer, and prevents soil erosion. It is also biodegradable and compostable, making it a great choice for environmentally conscious consumers.

How is the Half Moon Clutch Handbag Made?

The Handcrafted Elephant Grass Half Moon Clutch Handbag is made by skilled artisans in Tamale, the capital city of the Northern Region of Ghana. Tamale is known for its vibrant culture and rich history, as well as its basket weaving industry.

The artisans who make the clutch bag are part of a cooperative that empowers women and supports local communities. They use traditional techniques and tools to create beautiful and functional products that showcase their skill and cultural heritage.

The process of making the clutch bag involves several steps:

• First, the artisans select the elephant grass strips in different colors and arrange them in a pattern.
• Next, they use a wooden needle to weave the strips together in a circular motion, starting from the center and working outwards.
• Then, they shape the woven circle into a half-moon silhouette by folding it in half and stitching the edges together.
• After that, they attach a leather wrist strap to one side of the clutch bag using a metal ring.
• Finally, they add a closure mechanism to secure the clutch handbag.

Each clutch handbag takes about two hours to make and requires careful attention to detail. The result is a unique and exquisite product that reflects the personality and creativity of the artisan.
