A collaborative piece combining our exclusive design, and the expert skills of our artisans in Zimbabwe.

Using phenomenal skill and craftsmanship, each dazzling bead was individually placed by hand. Thoughtfully constructed with decorative glass beads and wire, a lot of time and skill has gone into bringing it to life.

WHO MADE YOUR BEADED ANIMAL?

Jonathan – known as Jones – and his brother Bernard, started their beadwork craft business in 1985. They began their business in Chitungwiza, just outside Harare in Zimbabwe. They started making wire toys for themselves and overtime other parents ordered toys for their children. This inspired and motivated them to challenge their abilities.

Our co-founder, Bee, met Jones in 1996 in Hackney, London when he travelled there to set up a stall with his brother to sell their beaded products in Covent Garden.
