2.KNUS
KNUS started with an idea to sell beautiful handcrafted blankets to the South African market. After months of research, trial and error we realised the effort and determination that goes into handcrafted goods.
We decided to go bigger and create a platform where other local creatives like ourselves could sell their products to the local market.
A place that allows them to focus on what they love – creating. Where the quality and determination that goes into hand crafted products are appreciated and the people behind these products are supported. A home to a family of beautiful locally handcrafted products.
