“Welcome to Bazaar Africa”

We are now moving from this site and selling on Etsy. You can find us here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/BazaarAfricaCrafts

Bazaar Africa’s ethic is to try and aid and enable African people to achieve a better standard of living, as well as pride in what they produce, through their native arts and crafts.Our shop is dedicated to hand crafted and hand made African products.

The shop carries a wide range of jewellery products from the Zulu and Maasai tribes. And when it comes to beads… we have bead handled cutlery and wooden salad servers, keyrings and animals.

There is hand-painted papier maché from eSwatini, in vibrant colours and designs and crazy but fun animals made from recycled flip-flops!

We also stock the famous Kazuri range of brightly coloured and diverse shaped handmade ceramic bead jewellery. So why don’t you pop in and have a browse? We hope you enjoy looking our products and gifts – there’s really something for everybody.

All items are personally sourced. Many come from small co-operatives of single mothers or those affected by HIV and other diseases, assisting them to make a fair, independent and decent living. The majority of items are from Kenya and South Africa, but some also come from Zimbabwe, Zambia and eSwatini*.

Kazuri is handmade and hand glazed ceramic bead jewellery from Kenya

The Kazuri ceramic bead project was set up to help alleviate struggling single Mothers over 45 years ago, and continues to thrive today, employing around 300 women.

These Kazuri ceramic beads are all unique, as every single one is hand made in a workshop just outside Nairobi. They come in a range of shapes, sizes and coloured designs.

We go to Kenya as often as possible to source our products and designs. It’s always a lovely experience to see these beads being made by a team of happy craft-women. It’s also very hard to decide which colours and shapes we want to stock from the myriad of different styles and designs.
