Where Every Purchase Tells a Story

What people are saying about our products

We ordered 12 brass cats that needed to match a very specific style for an award presentation. The process was smooth from early designs done in wax to the finished castings and excellent polishing that makes the cats look fantastic. If we were to have the kind of custom work done in the United States it would have cost us at least three times more and wouldn’t have such an amazing story to go with it.

I recently purchased a bronze women statuette from the Hamado Tapsoba collection, and it has become a fantastic addition to our bookshelf.

"I recently received an apron designed by Mphumelelo (Phumie) Similane as a gift. The vibrant colors and exquisite embroidery transform it from a piece of apparel into a work of art! Knowing the garment’s backstory makes it even more valuable."

From Pain to Purpose

Many of the hands that meticulously craft each piece of the Tfola Litsemba collection have borne the weight of hardship. They have known poverty, faced the ugliness of abuse, and have been pushed to the brink of despair. But as they weave, bead, and craft, they do more than just create – they transform. Their pasts, though marred with pain, become the very canvases upon which their futures are painted. 

With each creation, a layer of pain is shed, replaced by a newfound sense of purpose. The process is not merely about creating items for sale, but about rediscovery – of self-worth, dignity, and hope. It’s about replacing the narrative of victimhood with that of victory.
