Textile Bookmark Set of 3 (BM11) - Rwanda
Exclusive, Hand-Crafted Designs.
Hand-crafted by women in Rwanda, these bookmarks feature gorgeous African patterns and are the perfect way to save your spot while reading. The women at our partner cooperative Cocoki are bringing their products into the US – and your home – for the first time.
Impressive Quality.
The women of Cocoki proudly designed and produced these bookmarks from traditional Dutch wax cloth – using nothing but their own creativity and foot-powered sewing machines. The National Textile Museum and US Holocaust Memorial Museum carry Cocoki's products in their museum stores in recognition of the historic and creative importance of Dutch wax cloth to African women. Color: multi, assorted. Please note that all our products are handmade, and color and size may vary slightly.
For the Socially-Conscious Reader.
These bookmarks, which come in sets of three, make great gifts for that avid reader and global academic who enjoys being distinctive. Fellow book club-ers and friends will immediately have something to chat about with these unique placeholders. Each bookmark comes with a special hangtag signed by the artisan who made it, creating a personal connection between the artisan and the consumer.
