LES ARTISANES DU CAP

We Create Unique Gifts & Souvenirs

Our gifts are cherished reminders of all the wonderful and iconic places for anyone that has spent time in Africa:

• All of our products are 100% handmade locally in Cape Town.
• We work with local workforce and support the community of Cape Town.
• Our products are fun & original and our illustrations are unique.
• Our providers are all from South Africa to support local businesses.

Ikamva Design is an exciting new social enterprise endeavour that seeks to increase job opportunities for artisans in Cape Town’s township communities. For as long as Ikamva Labantu has been working with older persons, we have been witness to their creativity, talent and resourcefulness. From traditional beaded jewellery to handbags made from bottle caps, participants at Ikamva Labantu’s senior clubs continuously find original ways to pay tribute to their heritage and craft whilst supplementing their monthly pensions through selling handmade goods.

Ikamva Design’s online shop brings this talent to a wider market and showcases a range of handmade, original creations designed and crafted by older women living in township communities. Your purchase directly supports these women, many of whom raise large families on a monthly pension of just R1,780. From homeware to decorative pins, intricate accessories and even Christmas decorations, our team of local artisans can create bespoke handcrafted items to suit your needs.

Parenting comes without instructions. In a world where every purchase has an impact we believe that it’s time for change: to think differently, produce conscientiously and leave a positive legacy for the environment and for our community.

Wonderlands is a Cape-Town based start-up, placing ethical and locally handmade products at the heart of its everyday purpose.

Because empowering others matters!
