Madwa
Inspired by craft and tradition, Madwa is an ethical craft project that works with small groups of master weavers in Madagascar and Swaziland to produce contemporary ranges of woven textiles, homeware and accessories.

Based in South Africa, Madwa harnesses the unique weaving skills of the different cultural groups and regions it works with, and is about the preservation of a unique craft heritage, assisting the weavers with product development and gaining access to international markets.

The products produced are woven using sustainable materials such as raffia, palm and sisal; whilst contemporary colour schemes and patterns update traditional styles across baskets, cushions, stools, storage containers handbags, hats and throws.
