Every United States President since Truman has received a Pawleys Island Hammock as a gift from South Carolina Senator Strom Thurman.

As an onlooker in our Pawleys Island weaving room, where the hammock is knitted as it has been for almost a century, you will find yourself keeping time to the rhythmic motion of the skilled native craftsman as they work a needle of rope in and out of the hammock body, creating symmetric patterns and lending a touch of art to the unique and interesting craft.

As our craftsmen weave, you can often hear the enchanting sounds of "gullah" conversation and song, which represents a distinct southern lowcountry style of dialect and unique part of our American Heritage.

Micky Spillane, Karem Abdul Jabar, Barbara Mandrell, and Tom Selleck are just a few of the many famous folk who have enjoyed the luxury of owning a Pawleys Island Hammock
