Story 

James and Pry created Elephant Branded. James spent four months designing and building a school near Johannesburg, South Africa. After finishing the building, he realized that the children going to these schools did not own any necessary school supplies. James also traveled around Asia, where he noticed a similar issues among Asian school children. While visiting Cambodia, James met Pry and his wife Mey. Pry and Mey made silk bags. Pry and James got together and came up with the idea to make bags out of recycled materials.

Values

  • Charitable

A portion of the proceeds from each purchase goes towards a charitable cause.  For each item bought, a school child in Africa or Asia gets a complete kit of school supplies. You can give a gift to others in need, while also treating yourself!

  • Eco-friendly

Elephant Branded is eco-friendly, because it makes its products from recycled materials. Elephant Branded does not create any additional waste that could release chemicals and contribute to pollution.

  • Sustainable

Because this brand uses recycled materials, it are also sustainable. Its bags and accessories are made from locally sourced motor bike seat covers, tyre inner tubes and recycled rice and cement sacks. The recycled cement paper is fused to cotton and coated with Nano liquid glass. That process makes the Elephant Branded products water-resistant, durable and long-lasting.
