Shipping charges

Thanks to DHL Ghana, we still have the best shipping rates around. It only costs $13 a kilo (Europe) and $16 a kilo (US) to send your package safely and directly to you from Africa. These rates are unbeatable!

Our aim is to create sustainable businesses for traditional African artisans many of whom live in poverty despite their incredible skills. Arts and crafts are a valuable source of income for many Africans. Rural populations live off their creativity between harvests and urban dwellers - often women - rely on their creative skills to feed and educate their children. But they don't have the time or resources to market their goods and are often forced to take less than cost for their work. Our aim to to find new and global markets and put African artisans in touch with people who appreciate the scope and beauty of African products. By creating new markets for our artisans they can have a decent standard of living and can pass their skills on to their children.

Meet more of our artisans on the About page or visit the Showcase section to see our Photo Galleries or customer comments. You can also read our Media mentions.
