The perfect unusual gift for an elephant loving, eco-conscious loved one. Our unique elephant dung photo frames are hand crafted from elephant dung and recycled paper, to display your favourite memories.
Sending as a gift? Everything we send comes in lovely recyclable packaging, with the option to add a gift note at checkout (printed on recycled, textured A6 card with our branding). As standard, the price is never printed on the packing slip.
Choose from frames to hold 3.5×3.5 inch, 5×3.5 inch, or 6×4 inch photos.
These frames have an attached stand, for a portrait or landscape orientation on a flat surface.
There’s no glass or plastic cover over the window and no fiddly hooks to place the photo in the frame at the back, just a discrete slot to slip it through at the top. No fuss, no un-planet-friendly materials!
Each frame is finished with a brass elephant. As each one is crafted by hand, the design may be slightly different to the one pictured.
Our elephant dung frames are hand crafted from recycled paper and elephant dung, meaning there can be some variation in the texture and shade of the paper depending on their diet. Each one is truly as unique as the elephant that helped to create it!
Due to the handmade nature of our products each one is unique, but loveliness comes as standard.

Trickledown
Sri Lanka
Founded in 1993, Trickledown started as a manufacturer of recycled paper products. Today, they use a whole range of sustainable materials in their work, including paddy husk, banana, pineapple, and elephant dung (working with our other elephant dung producer Maximus!).
With the core value of empowering their artisans through the development and support of their crafts, the largely female team provide fairly paid opportunities to improve the lives of their workers and their communities.

Theses products are made by skilled and creative artisans using elephant dung paper from the Maximus Elephant Conservation Trust.
The ultimate in recycling, elephant dung is collected and boiled to sterilise it before the paper-making process. As unique as the animal that helped to produce it, each piece of paper is different depending on the diet of the elephant.
Improving the outlook for the majestic elephants of Sri Lanka, Maximus has its workshop in the grounds of the Millennium Elephant Foundation (MEF), a wonderful small charity that cares for sick, old, and disabled elephants. Working with initiatives like Maximus, the foundation is able to show the positive relationship local economies can have with these amazing animals, and work towards resolving the conflict between the elephants and the local communities as they turn to eating farmers’ crops as their natural habitat is destroyed.
