Kraftéd
by Sibahle Mvubu
Leftover cloth,
new purpose.
Sibahle Mvubu is a Durban-based creative and founder of Sibahle Accessories (Pty) Ltd, trading as Kraftéd. She learned arts and crafts from her mother and aunts, then turned that household making into a practice.
Kraftéd sources leftover materials from local creatives, sewists and textile suppliers and turns them into bags, home accessories and textile art. The work sits between sustainability, African-inspired design and everyday function.
The current range includes Ankara tote and cosmetic sets, leather totes with interchangeable Ankara straps, jute-and-Ankara bags, satin pillowcases, wall frames, invitation cards and aprons — with moulded décor still on the way.
