Good day,
I'm Bernadette, the founder of cratesofbeauty.com and I’d love to share a brief introduction to our brand with you - I run all things except the actual weaving which I leave up to our skilled resident artisans on our weavery in Joostenbergvlakte (Cape Town). We are a 100% locally made lighting and slow commerce collective. Born during COVID, I believe very firmly in empowering our local economy, that the power of beauty is its ability to connect us to the divine, and that beauty in its purest form is always sustainable.
Quick overview:
- We are VAT registered, and being locally made, our offering is completely customisable, with local production capacity for bulk orders.
- For the past 3 years we have provided Checkers with our Teardrop pendant in their remodelled butcheries
- For our pendants we make our frames at a local steel factory on precision engineered, stainless steel allowing for durable fittings with precision and symmetry across designs, while ensuring longevity in indoor, outdoor, and remote environments
- Our natural materials are from KZN and are able to sustain moisture
- What distinguishes our elevated, African, yet modern look is that we use authentic bamboo instead of more wonky, pervasively seen vine canes
- We offer sophisticated packaging to ensure protected nationwide and international delivery
- Our pieces are ideal for bringing warmth and authenticity to luxury interiors
