Our Sweet conversation

Handcrafted upcyled wrapper handbags and accessories that instantly brighten up your day. Whether it’s chocolate, delicious biscuits, cool-drink or fruit packets, we use them all to create masterpieces.

“Capturing sweet moments in unique pieces of art, while doing our small bit for our planet and community.”

MyAfricanMum’s story starts with my OCD of waste together with our family relocating from the small seaside village of Kidd’s Beach to Port Elizabeth. When we left we didn’t want our housekeeper unemployed and so MyAfricanMum was born in October 2016.
