4worldlovers: Visit us at 126 1st Avenue, Bredell, Kempton Park, Gauteng to view our impressive range.

Your first stop for all beads and jewellery making supplies! We offer a large selection of beading materials, accessories and tools. We also offer mosaic and beading classes! Our shop is located in a peaceful location with plenty of parking space and shade.

Bead & beading accessories of different shapes, sizes and colours are acquired on a regular basis.

4worldlovers: Our soft furnishings are handmade using hand dyed linens. We use a heavy unbleached linen fabric and dye it up to our clients’ colour specifications. By hand dying the cloth ourselves we achieve rich and varied tones and effects. Our beaders have been beading for over a decade and their work is intricate and precise. The embroidery is done by our Ghanaian embroiderer using an old, traditional, hand operated sewing machine. He builds up the design one row at a time ensuring each piece is unique. We also do hand embroidered motifs on our cushions and throws using thick cotton yarn. This gives a contemporary edge to an age-old traditional craft.

We create one off designs for our loyal clientele who use us time and again for their special projects. They bring their mood boards and swatches to the studio and together we create bespoke pieces especially for them. We love the collaborative aspect of our work because we are constantly producing new and exciting soft furnishings that no one has ever seen before. This is our greatest pleasure.

Our products are luxurious in that they are handmade and unique. They are also relaxed as we favour a soft unstructured look. Torn edges and outside seams are our trademark although some clients choose more traditional finishes and sharper edges. It is important to us that they fit perfectly into their new homes. Tailor made to the client’s exact taste and delight.

I received the basket on Monday in good condition. The packing was excellent and the basket is beautiful. I hope, in the future, you will gain access to additional large baskets that are of interest to me. Thanks again for all your assistance

“I received the bowls, and they are exquisitely beautiful!! Thank you very much, will treasure them forever!!”

“Wearing these earrings made me feel brave, free and original. I love how diverse these earrings are – like I can wear them with African attire and still rock my style look. Women are beautiful, we creative. Ok I left out how these earrings made me embrace my long face. Thank u African Mamas.”

“I appreciated that you came to my aid at the last minute. All the gifts were going to the USA. When you buy things like these some people may not know how to use them, so ideas or stories of how people have used them may be useful. A dish can also be used as a wall decoration, a necklace on a stand similarly. I think telephone wire items are unique to SA, if not the SA story is unique.“

“I love my African Mamas ring. It’s so distinctive and gets lots of compliments”

“So glad I found this company. Such speedy and professional service. High quality and affordable products!.”

“This is my power accessory, my story-telling piece. The beauty and precision with which it is made is striking – people always ask, “is it really handmade?” It makes me stand out and people always appreciate me in it. I got it as a birthday present in 2017, so I’ve had it for over 3 years now. I find that it’s very versatile and easy to blend in with stuff. I can do many things with it; work, weddings, parties.”

“I was very impressed with the new packaging in which the Beaded Christmas Tree ornaments came. I think this was my third order. Thank you also for the prompt response to my order as well as the speedy delivery to my house. Not only are the ornaments well made, but it feels good to support a company that enables other women to earn a decent living for their families. Thanks again for giving efforts of these gifted women opportunity to grow beyond their rural villages.”

“I absolutely LOVE the necklace – thank you so much!! Your service was amazing, and I liked how the courier let me know exactly when delivery would take place! I purchased several items from your company at the Cavendish Market in December last year and will definitely be adding more to my collection.”

“I am thrilled with my custom-made earrings and pendant necklace – the items all work beautifully with my existing beaded bracelet (which you made) and I will certainly be recommending your services. The design and detail of your products is exquisite. Thank you for your great services, you were prompt and friendly and pleasure to deal with, I wish you and your company all the success”.

Thank you @African_mamas for the beautiful unique handmade necklace. Wearing it reminds me that so much impact can be obtained when businesses make conscious decisions to partner with and empower local communities.

The wire baskets we ordered as gifts were absolutely beautiful and so well made! We filled them with goodies to eat and they made a great gift. It was a pleasure to deal with Nomaswazi from African Mammas Crafts, and we’ll definitely buy products from them again!

The picnic basket made a beautiful wedding gift! She absolutely loved it and took it along for her honeymoon road trip.
