The Artists and Crafters
Freshly Found is full of unique designers, most of them from Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa. Here is a little information about the creators we show on Freshly Found
- Hlengiwe Mbambo
is a strikingly tall, gracious and talented. She lives in the green hills of KZN and has dreams of becoming a nurse one day. She learnt the traditional art of beading and interprets this is in a funky way on footwear! Previously only sold locally in her area, we are delighted to be able to add her products to the Freshly Found portfolio.
- Ama-Bhungezi
The ladies of iBhungezi are part of a project that restores hope to the local valley communities by creating an employment opportunity that gives both income and affirmation. The project provides training and support and an avenue to express their creative talent, resulting in some beautiful work!
- Sandile Sithole
is a talented young man with a broad smile that lights up his face.
The Vintage Refreshed philosophy of Freshly Found is played out in the brilliant beading by Sandile Sithole. He works meticulously at this age old local craft of beading and brings it right up to date with clean bright colours and lines.
