Article in the Brisbane Style magazine - January issue

African chic

A great stall has popped up at Jan Power’s Farmers Markets. Ikhaya (“home’’ in Zulu) sells modern African homewares, including bowls cushions ornaments & bags. The young Cape Town woman at the helm of this business, Lynne Stockdale, is passionate about supporting African artisans who are “using their craft & skill to make their way out of poverty and into the global economy”. Most of the products are made from recycled materials, so they make excellent socially conscious gifts on all fronts! Ikhaya’s quirky wares are already proving a hit, so go for a wander – the markets are on the second and fourth Saturday of every month from 6am ‘til noon at Brisbane Powerhouse in New Farm – or visit the website.

A big thank you to the team at Style magazine for the mention - especially Casey!
