These beautiful hand brooms are crafted from sustainably gathered Lutindzi grass and dyed in vibrant colours that bring joy to everyday living. Both lightweight and sturdy, it’s perfect for gentle sweeping and ideal for worktops, garden tables, or delicate indoor corners.
Equally lovely when displayed, it can be hung as a decorative object too.
Woven by the women of Siyaphambili Handicraft.
Lutindzi grass, harvested sustainably from the wild, is the foundation of each piece, a strong, natural material celebrated for its texture and durability.
Every Siyaphambili piece is handcrafted using natural materials and human energy alone, making their process inherently low carbon and gentle on the environment.
Siyaphambili brings together women from rural Eswatini, creating opportunity, community, and recognition for their skill, creativity, and determination to move forward together.
The cooperative ensures fair payment for every artisan, supporting women’s financial independence and allowing their craft to become a sustainable source of income.
Through their weaving, the women of Siyaphambili keep ancestral techniques alive, passing skills from generation to generation while adapting them for modern design.
Siyaphambili Handicraft is a collective of women artisans based in Makhungutja, in Eswatini’s Manzini region. Their name, Siyaphambili, means “moving forward” in siSwati—a reflection of their shared vision for growth and empowerment through craft.
Working together, the group transforms wild-harvested Lutindzi grass into beautiful woven homeware, including placemats and baskets. Their creations blend contemporary design with traditional technique, connecting the past and present through every coil of grass.
By uniting skill, creativity, and community, Siyaphambili offers more than handcrafted design—it represents resilience, artistry, and a collective step toward a more equitable future.

Each Siyaphambili piece begins in the wild landscapes of Makhungutja, where artisans carefully gather Lutindzi grass- a strong, sustainable material that grows naturally on steep hillsides.
The grass is washed, sun-dried, and dyed using rich natural hues before being tightly braided and woven by hand.
Every step, from gathering to finishing, is carried out with patience and precision. The women often work together outdoors, sharing stories and knowledge passed down through generations.
