Beenybud’s tag line says it all: purveyors of fine craft. Its straw products trace their roots to Gordon Town circa 1972.
Today it partners with predominantly female artisans from around the island — particularly those based in St Catherine, St Elizabeth, Westmoreland, and St Mary — to create a wide range of personal and home items. It’s a story of passion for locally sourced jippi jappa straw, thatch, banana bark, coconut, wicker, sisal and khus khus grass (vetiver) that are artfully weaved into hats, bags, baskets and, most recently, jewellery pieces.
