Handmade in KwaZulu-Natal
Handmade pieces for a home with soul.
Woven baskets, ceramics, throws and cushions made by makers across KwaZulu-Natal, chosen for homes that feel warm, lived-in and a little bit personal.
Handmade home decor
Every piece has a maker
Umuzi means homestead in isiZulu, and that is what we want every room to feel like. We work directly with more than thirty makers: weavers in Hlabisa, potters in the Midlands and a small textile studio in Pinetown. Each product card tells you who made it and how, and the makers are paid when they deliver, not when we sell.
