Tamboti & TwineHandmade in Somerset West

Handmade in the Helderberg

Little things, made slowly, by real hands.

Soaps, candles, ceramics, baskets, macramé and art prints from a small studio in Somerset West. Every piece is made in small batches, so no two are quite the same.

How ordering works

Kind words

The rooibos soap smells like a cup of tea and my hands have never been happier.

Anel, Gordon's Bay

Ordered the macramé on a Tuesday and it was in Joburg by Friday, wrapped beautifully.

Thabo, Rosebank

The cabbage bowls are now the stars of my dinner table. Everyone asks where they are from.
