Our Ethos

Our aim is to work with artisans and artisan enterprises who provide employment for local people, who empower their workforce, especially women, and who pay them fair wages, giving them a sense of significance thereby enhancing their lives, those of their families and their communities.

We are passionate about celebrating the skills and craftmanship of the people who make the products that we sell. Many of them produce their goods using traditional methods, thereby preserving ancient cultures and manufacturing techniques. We strongly believe that the results are unique and each product designed and created by them truly reflects this.

All of the products that we sell have been carefully chosen by us in South Africa to match our values and ethos. Our aim is to sell high quality modern homewares and furniture that are made by highly skilled artisans, using sustainable techniques and materials and for our customers to receive products that are beautiful, genuine and durable.

Having a local presence in South Africa is key to selecting the best products for our customers. In today’s society too many goods are industrially and mass-produced and have a short lifespan. We source unique pieces that are made with high quality sustainable materials, that our customers can treasure and that will stand the test of time.

We partner with people and enterprises that share our values. The processes, materials and the impact on the environment in producing the products that we sell are vitally important. Our suppliers share our commitment to supplying high quality goods that last and made with the ideal of preserving our environment for our generation and generations to come.

Our love of South African homewares and design stems from many years of experiencing and using the pieces ourselves. We are passionate about the beauty and design of the products that we sell and the unique, uncomplicated and timeless style that will blend into any home and décor.
