Artisan Profile

Ikhaya means ‘home’ in Zulu. We sell Modern African Homewares that bring the warm spirit of the Rainbow Nation to Australia.

Ikhaya sources fun, quirky products from South Africa & a few other African countries. We love traditional African craft but also love the combination of art & recycling in authentic African style.

Inspired by these pieces Ikhaya hopes to help the crafters by selling their products in Australia & enabling another nation to enjoy these beautiful pieces!

About our founder
I am originally from Cape Town & spent a few years living in Brisbane before moving to Sydney where I am now.

I have a love of all things African & want to share this with Australia. I have a particular passion for the modern funky side of the craft - everything always has a little bit of humour.

Most of the items on this website are FAIR TRADE & sourced from community projects & Fair Trade organisations in South Africa.
