MADE BY ARTISANS

Hand crafted by skilled artisans using locally sourced materials. We love that no products are identical and are imperfectly perfect!

ECONOMIC IMPACT

Artisan’s make up a large proportion of the informal sector in Africa and is a primary income source for many families. Our 100% Initiative benefits the artisans directly by supporting them to develop sustainable incomes.

100% INITIATIVE

100% of the net profits from this product is re invested in local artisan businesses to help them scale & offer employment for the local community

RENEWABLE RESOURCES

We use buttons from the tagua nut, which fall naturally and need no cultivation or harvesting. Hundreds of nuts grow each year making this a super renewable resource. The sisal used to make our baskets is also from a renewable source and biodegrades naturally.

BIO DEGRADES

We only use eco-friendly fabrics, buttons, swing tags/string, labelling and packaging that biodegrades naturally over time through micro-organisms to minimise environmental harm.

Shop By Print Story

Our hand-drawn prints are love letters to Africa - each one alive with colour, texture, and story. Inspired by the continent’s endless beauty, we draw from sunbaked earth, wild blooms, and joyful rhythms of everyday life. From the golden tones of the Serengeti to the bold petals of the Cape daisy, every print is a celebration - of nature, of culture, of pure, abundant joy.
