Photo Albums & frames (from elephant dung!)

Paper High sells lovely photo albums, made with elephant dung and filled with 35 pages of handmade paddy husk paper (a by-product of the rice-milling industry).The dung is collected by villagers in Sri Lanka, who get paid to do this, rather than see elephant as enemies for eating crops (due to lack of habitat).

The average elephant eats the same as us chomping 300 cans of baked beans a day, so that’s a lot of dung! It’s a great way to foster peace in communities where elephants live nearby. And each item has unique flecks, depending on what your elephant friend ate that day!

Also available as photo frames, with attached stands for portrait or landscape orientation on a flat surface. There are no glass/plastic windows nor fiddly hooks. Just slot photos in the discreet slot. Each frame is finished with a hand-crafted brass elephant.

Photo Frames (from recycled newspapers)

These photo frames made from recycled newspapers are naturally colourful, made by artisans in India, to help reduce the huge waste paper issue. Also in landscape versions.
