African Home is committed to Fair Trade principles.

We are members of Proudly South African and of the initiative to establish a Fair Trade Association in Crafts in South Africa (FACSA) as well as the International Federation for Alternative Trade (IFAT).

African Home maintains, and practices, a strong commitment to environmental awareness. Accordingly, all materials used in our products are consistent with, and promoting of, the sustainability of the natural resources of South Africa. For example, the wood we use is sourced from fallen trees within sustainable forests, driftwood or alien trees that have heavy water consumption levels. Many natural and local products are used such as reeds, weeds, clay, paper and wire.

Constantly expanding, our hand crafted products include:

• TOWNSHIP ART AND CRAFT namely articles crafted out of waste materials such as wirework, paper mache items, tin cans, and plastic.


• TRADITIONAL/TRIBAL ARTICLES, African articles, which have roots in the indigenous culture of the craftsperson, for example African carvings, Zulu and Xhosa pots, beadwork , African fabrics, basketry and more.


• CONTEMPORARY DESIGNS using high quality wood, pottery, paper and wire.


• RELIGIOUS ARTICLES, A very large range of Christmas decorations, Jewish festival items such as Pesach Seder Plates, Matza plates and covers, hallah covers, Rosh Hashanah plates and honey containers, Yarmulkes, etc.

All our products are hand crafted; therefore each piece is unique. Dimensions, especially in pottery, beaded work, traditional wood items and basketry may vary slightly. All products are produced in South Africa from local materials, and all products undergo a quality check to ensure the best standards.

• Exclusive range - items you can find only at African Home. We work with designers and crafters to bring together their skills creating unique items. This range will soon be advertised on a separate webpage!


• Custom made - for corporates, hotels, interior designers, etc. we design custom made products incorporating companies' logos. For example, we supply embroidered dress bags to luxury hotels, slippers, table cloths as well as beaded badges for conferences.


• Sourcing - we source goods for clients anywhere in South Africa, almost an endless list of items. For example, in the past year we sourced tribal drums, vases, and printed cushion covers, to name a few.
