Madwa is a wholesale supplier of inspired contemporary craft objects to leading edge design retailers around the world.

From bags, hats and baskets to palm stools, floor cushions and raw silk textiles, all our products are made by small groups of artisans using sustainable materials. Based in South Africa, we work with craft projects in Madagascar and Swaziland, supporting them with product development and access to international markets.

The distinctive raw textures of our woven products emerge from our designs and practices passed down through generations. Through more contemporary uses of colour and scale, we hope to make these creations accessible to a far wider audience.

Madwa supplies a selection of sought-after South African stockists, including Cecile and Boyd, Bushman’s Kloof Hotel, The Oyster Box, l’Orangerie, Nap, Pezula Interiors, White on White. Our list of international outlets has expanded to include Spain, Germany, UK and the US. We are well resourced to supply new stockists across the globe.

Aimed at imaginative buyers who are motivated by the desire to make the world a more beautiful, but also a better place, we are part of a growing global network of ethical, innovative traders. This means we also go out of our way to ensure that our products make a positive contribution to the lives of the people and environments in which they originate.

Madwa is committed to:
- Using only sustainable materials
- Empowering local communities through trade and craft
- Providing an international market for a range of homeware, textiles and fashion accessories
