Consider Our Uncommon
African Crafts.


There is so much mass-produced stuff posing as African crafts.  We have intentionally selected works of high quality not found at typical markets or roadside stalls. 

These works have been around for centuries, but are now increasingly being sought by interior designers and discerning homeowners alike.

Our craftspersons have put their hearts into their work. The results are pieces that are exceptionally well made and original.

The artisans have been inspired to create something new, either using everyday and recycled materials or taking traditional crafts and adding a new twist to it.

They have incorporated traditional work such as Zulu and Ndebele bead work, Venda pottery or West African basketmaking and used these traditional skills and materials to develop an exciting new range of products.

The works featured here are created either by experienced crafters or those affiliated with credible African non-profit organizations.

We have also featured artisans who are offering their gifts for Africa where a portion of the sale supports outreach efforts of non-profit organizations.
