Our Story
After many years being hugely fortunate & travelling the world with my work, I decided to combine my ambition to set up my own family business with a fascination with different cultures and strong sense of fair play. There are many companies offering beautiful items from the Far East but far less from Africa, so we decided to focus there.

So it would have to be a Fair Trade business offering items that are handcrafted, unique, high quality, made from natural materials, sourced from co-operatives that don`t sell outside their own locality...and there would have to be a wide range to attract enough customers. Plus we would work with the Artisans to design and make a range of practical items which are attractive to a wide market. Easy!
