About Care Studios

Care Studios was founded on a simple belief: that beautiful things can do good in the world.

Every piece in our collection is handcrafted by skilled artisans, including master beadworker Thenjiwe Pretty Nkogatsi of South Africa, who brings decades of tradition to every pair of earrings, every basket, and every wall sculpture she creates. Using premium Preciosa glass beads and time-honored techniques passed down through generations, her work is a celebration of African craft at its finest.

Our animal sculptures and birds are handcrafted by the Afrika-47 Collective, a group of talented Zimbabwean artisans dedicated to preserving traditional sculpture techniques and bringing the beauty of African wildlife to life.

Fair Trade, by Design

We work directly with our artisans — not through intermediaries — ensuring fair wages, dignified working conditions, and a genuine partnership built on respect. When you purchase from Care Studios, you're not just buying a handmade piece; you're investing in a maker's livelihood and helping sustain a craft tradition.

Made to Order, Made with Care

Because our pieces are handmade to order, each one is unique. You'll receive your item knowing it was crafted specifically for you, accompanied by an artisan story card that tells you exactly who made it and where.
