Welcome to South Africa and African Curios Lens
We are excited to announce the launch of our new business - Thorntree Crafts and Curios. Thorntree Crafts and Curios is a website offering a variety of different African, and in particular South African, curios to the overseas market.
Our mission in doing so is two-fold - to reach out to the people of our country who are living in poverty but who have excellent crafting skills but not the resources to market their products effectively. We also want to meet the demand we have seen in a number of countries for these unique, hand-crafted items.
This lens will provide a place to show you the products we offer as well as give you the opportunity to interact regarding your experiences with African curios or visits to this beautiful part of the world.
We trust that you enjoy this and that you will also visit us at Thorntree Crafts and Curios.
