Thousands of textile workers in Cape Town have been retrenched during the past decade due to tough international competition from Asia. Despite their skills and years of experience, many former factory workers battle to make a living. Nonophela Craft has decided to tap into this potential to make high quality products that appeal to ethically aware consumers.

About 25 000 people live in Ocean View, a community which battles with high unemployment and drug abuse. Play a part in strengthening the creative and energetic initiatives that do exist in Ocean View! When buying our products you contribute directly to support the tailors’ financial independence.

Nonophela Craft is owned by Pernille Stallemo and is registered as a Closed Corporation. The company started trading in 2011.
