Nature of hand-made products

Ngala Trading is proud to promote a curated selection of authentic designs featuring sustainable materials readily
available from and across Africa. All of the pieces in our collection are handcrafted using genuine animal by-
products, as well as organic grasses, shells, seeds and recycled glass. Due to the nature of our production methods
and materials, each item will vary slightly in both dimensions and coloring. We believe that these natural variations
enhance the authenticity of each item.
