USISI DESIGNS CC
Hall 3    Stand FOL50

uSisi Designs are producers of unique Jewellery made of Scoobie wire (Telephone wire). We are passionate about our African Craft Heritage. In production we use many antique weaving, platting and wrapping techniques to manufacture pieces that have a rich story to tell. These products are made by a group of women from  Rural and semi-urban area around Pietermaritzburg, in Kwa-Zulu Natal. We also work with a group of women from the rural areas around Ladysmith.

In our search of combining old with new, we have found some facinating and innovative antique  and modern, wire work techniques from all over the world.  In our Spiral bracelets we have combined such techniques. These bracelets has been our best sellers for more than eight years and can be found in Germany, France, Austria, America, Australia and Japan amoung many countries.

In a bid to remain innovative and relevant, in the everchanging Fashion industry, we have introduced a line of products using sealed copperwire in both our fashion accesories and homeware.  We have  added Crocheted copper wire hangings light to the collection of Copper runners and woven decor items.   We are constantly pushing the boundries in working with recycled materials, like Plastic bottlecaps. Currently, we are making decorative wall panels, covered in Bottlecaps and also small side stools and tables. We are also making hanging lights with melted  bottle caps.  We are also using re-purposed Internet cable for our new Christmas tree decorations.
