ARTISAN | HAND-CRAFTED | ETHICALLY SOURCED
A Christmas Market favourite, these magical little angels are coming to us from the Baviaans region of South Africa's beautiful Karoo, the hand-crafted angels are produced by small craft cooperatives located within two remote villages. The angel project is their only form of income and the success of the project has contributed a great deal to improving their lives and that of their communities.
Originally intended as a Christmas Tree decoration, the angels make beautiful gifts and can have a variety of uses. We have seen them hung off the rear view mirror in a car, above a baby's crib, gifted or purchased in memory of a lost loved one or simply to add to a collection.
Size: 7-8 cm in length
Material: knit or crocheted wire with beads and ostrich feather (locally sourced loose pieces)

All angel styles have names, many of which are after the ladies who make them and all have a meaning.
Valenta: Be Strong
