WATCH: Beaded shirts empower rural women in KZN

Trappers joined forces with Africa!Ignite, a non-profit development agency that creates jobs for rural women and youth in KwaZulu-Natal.

Every clothing item you wear has a story.

To celebrate the craftsmanship of South African women, Trappers partnered with Africa!Ignite, a non-profit development agency that creates jobs for rural women and youth in KwaZulu-Natal.

This collaboration enabled 20 rural women from uMzinyathi and eMzinyathi to use their exceptional beading skills to enhance original screen print drawings on Trappers limited edition hand-beaded series of T-shirts.

“We know how much it means for these women to not only get vital income to support their children, but also to be able to know that they have helped to create something beautiful which people will wear proudly,” said Bongiwe Mlangeni, operations manager at Africa!Ignite.
