Culture, kept
in the beads.

RoyalZ Beads sent a 2026 company profile into the cohort. The studio describes itself as a beadwork house: handmade accessories, custom commissions, fashionable crafts, corporate gifts and souvenirs, plus training.

The mission, as written in that profile, is to empower communities through beadwork skills, producing high-quality work while protecting cultural heritage through artisan development. Target markets include government departments, corporates, tourism, retail, cultural institutions and collectors.

Public collections such as the Imbadada beaded footwear line sit in the same language: modernised imvunulo, made to order, in colourways chosen with the wearer. Follow the making on Instagram @royalzbeads_sa.
