Notes

Casamento is based in Muizenberg, Cape Town. They use methods that are innovative, yet traditional, working in an environmentally conscious manner. Each member of the team is a valuable and skilled artisan, making the entire design and manufacturing process a meticulous, thoughtful work of art. Central to their work is a variety of hand-stitching techniques, using waxed twines and bamboo yarns. The designs are most often inspired by African heritage and the world of Nature.
