Handcrafted in South Africa by Karoo Angels.

The Karoo Angels story began in 2006 in Vondeling, a remote village in the Karoo semi-desert of South Africa. What started as a small craft project for community upliftment soon grew into something much larger. The project provided training to local artisans, leading to the creation of unique, handcrafted angels from wire, beads, wool, and ostrich feathers. The project expanded to include Rietbron, forming the Karoo Angels brand. These angels have gained international recognition, bringing pride and income to once-forgotten villages.

GOOD TO KNOW: The sizes of the Karoo Angels can vary, as each one is handcrafted. This natural variation arises from the artisanal process and the use of non-standardised ostrich feathers. The feather tufts used in creating the angels are supplied by Cape Karoo International, globally renowned for their finest quality ostrich plumes. Each angel’s individuality adds to its charm and authenticity, making it a truly exceptional piece of art.

How to store your angel: We recommend that you store your angel in the linen bag it arrived in. This will protect the feathers and prevent the wire from discolouring.
