About Ukhamba Vessel
About Ukhamba Vessel
Introducing our new range of felt cushions, vases and vessels. All handmade with love in Africa by a talented group of artisans.
Our small Ukhamba vessel is hand felted using 100% Karakul wool. So pretty with flowers on a shelf or clustered as a decorative piece.
The entire process of making our vessels is done by hand, from dyeing through to felting thus enhancing its organic appearance and tactile sense. We employ women with no formal education from disadvantaged communities, providing training and employment governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa and the relevant Acts.
Approx size: 9cm x 13cm
Hand rolled beads
Drawing on African heritage and craftsmanship, our felt range is created entirely by hand, from dying through to felting. As a result, each piece is as unique as the artisan who made it.
Designed and made by women
A community based project, head designer Razaan Jakoet experiments with dyes and various fibres and is constantly inspired by the South African landscape and its diverse cultures. Razaan designs all the products before handing over the felting to women that she trains at her studio in Cape Town, South Africa.
Handmade in Africa
Designed for the world, handmade by a beautiful community in Cape Town, South Africa.
