AFRICAN PATCHWORK QUILTS
 

For your home. Or your hotel.

For The Continent. Or spaces where you channel it. 

For the bush, the beach, the veld. 

For glorious sleep alone or cozy time together.

For picnics in Africa (ou pique-niques en Afrique). 

Introducing patchwork quilts by The Saint James Trading Co.

 

In his African travels, our founder noticed a pattern. Too often, hotels and spaces were either sterile luxury devoid of local flavor or kitschy lodges selling a contrived cartoon of Africa. Our quilts ask several questions. Can we deliver a design that has more harmony? Can we capture the joie de vivre of a modern Africa bubbling with often untapped energy? Can we employ Africans and make that product in Africa?

 

The Saint James Trading Co. is currently making quilts in Cotonou, Benin and Cape Town, South Africa.
