Our Products

Where are your products made?

The majority of our products are handcrafted by skilled artisans in Southern Africa. Our laser-cut items are hand-assembled, meaning human skill and care goes into every piece. Natural variations may occur — this is part of their unique charm!

What materials are used?

Our range is made from a variety of carefully selected materials, including:

  • Feathers
  • Laser-cut wood, some combined with Shweshwe fabric
  • Wire & beads
  • Telephone wire
  • Wax (paraffin and soy) for our candles
  • Felt

Full material details are listed on each individual product page.

How do I care for my products?

Care instructions are included on each individual product page. Please refer to these before cleaning or storing your item.

Safety Information

Are your products suitable for children?

Our decorative pieces are intended for adult collectors and display purposes only. They are not suitable for young children and should be kept out of reach of children under 14 years. They are not toys.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as other payment methods available at checkout.
