Textile Conversion Programme

CrissCross is our locally designed and manufactured rug range. We have worked with Belgotex to create this range as an alternative to importing rugs to serve the market demand. The artisans who make the rugs are trained and graduate from The Go Group’s Textile Conversion Programme. You can also buy smaller items like handbags and baskets, which are items made by Go-Getters at home because they are easy to transport and do not need to be manufactured at The Go Group’s premises. All the products are made from Belgotex yarn that meets international standards. There are two product ranges – a smalls range and a large range.
