Born to European family in early 80`s where veg was home grown, clothes sawn by my mum and furniture made by my dad I have developed high respect towards all handmade products and people making them. It`s time consuming and costly! But mainly, made with love and to perfection!
After meeting my adorer in UK we have moved to South Africa to continue with our life story here. I have devoted the next few years to our 2 girls as stay at home mum. Then the “itch” started and I realized I had to start my own business. After long sleepless nights, it hit me. It was in the front of me all these years!
And this is how Strictly Handmade was born in February 2012. Starting from a scratch with nothing but my family support and one really “unreliable” laptop I have decided to build my dream from our living room. Not long and I got to meet some amazingly talented people that have joined our adventure. Their service is outstanding and their products – well see for yourself!
I feel very blessed to have this opportunity to promote not only individuals but also communities and their gorgeous, high quality products!
Our variety of products is growing every week and we are always looking for new suppliers to join our adventure, so if this speaks to you, email us for more details. We would love to hear from you!
Visit our online store and you will find some unique products at excellent prices!
We are always willing to help and go the extra mile to make sure our customers return with a smile!
