Magie & Bob have
handed over the
ceremonial
meter stick!
Thank you

We are
Jenny & Wally
A textile enthusiast from
the UK and a batik artist

Together we will continue
to bring you unique

across Africa.
Sorry No Baskets....
We have had to stop
supplying the beautiful
Bolga baskets for a bit.
But we look forward to
working with the gang at
Baba Tree Basket Company
in the future.
We have changed
our payment system....
We now use
PayPal.
No account needed
you can still use your
regular debit or credit card.
Come Visit Us
We know how daunting buying textiles online can be…
The very nature of our business relies heavily on colour and texture. Both of which can be hard to translate via a computer screen. Though we try our best, there will always be factors beyond our control.
Booking an Appointment
Click the ‘Book now’ button below (or anywhere it appears on the website) and you will automatically be re-directed to our booking page.
Click on ‘Shop Visit’ and pick a day and a time slot that suits you. You are not obligated to stay the whole 2 hours. You can come on your own or bring friends. (6-8 people is best).
You will then be asked to input your contact details and confirm your booking.
A confirmation email will be sent and a reminder email the day before your appointment.
Why do we ask you to make an appointment?
There are a few reasons why we do this…
We want you to have the best experience possible. Give you dedicated time to understand your project and fabric requirements, so we can offer you our best advice, knowledge and expertise, free from distractions.
We love to get to know our customers, hear travel stories, and talk about shared experiences. Whatever the topic...Africa, textiles, family, history, travel, sewing.
We are also a young family. The appointment system allows us to manage our time better. Giving us freedom to choose when we dedicate time to the business, when we have family time and (most importantly) when best to schedule buying trips to Africa!
