Made in The Motherland

Published on 01-09-2014

Motherland Curios is an online store specialising in authentic African artefacts and curios, providing Australian customers a convenient and cost-effective way to purchase genuine and exquisite African creations. We bring to Australia a variety of unique and contemporary African artefacts including art, crafts, fashion, toys, jewellery, homewares, collectables, musical instruments and more.

We know you’ll appreciate our extensive collection of artefacts and artworks made by expert African craftsmen and women. We’re in direct contact with the individual artisans and artists, we always pay a fair price and we partner with them to foster long-term business relationships. Our local team personally selects the most creative pieces at the farms, studios and workshops where they’re created, so we know the story of each item from its source.

Each distinctive artefact is lovingly and passionately handcrafted. Every work of contemporary art tells a story and is a great conversation starter. Motherland Curios takes great pride in showcasing African talent and helping to provide exposure for African artists’ work to the Australian public. We’re dedicated to promoting African art, fashion, homewares and gifts to the people of Australia./p>

We operate out of Perth in WA. Focussed exclusively on African design, Motherland Curios aims to be Australia’s premier source of genuine African art and décor so whether you want a single pair of earrings or items to fill your entire home, we’ll give you first rate customer service and can ship to you anywhere in Australia.

Our African team in Nairobi, Kenya, keeps us in touch with the latest innovations and designs by working closely with the artists and artisans and tapping into their expertise. We’re also continuing to grow our networks beyond East Africa to broaden our product selection across different African artistic backgrounds, so we’d love to hear what you think of our collection and what else you’d like to see.
