Nobuntu sells products, gifts and accessories all sourced either directly from Fair Trade producers or through other suppliers who follow Fair Trade guidelines. Products range from homeware and greeting cards to bags, silver jewellery and fine (vegetarian friendly) silk scarves. The website was set up by 30 year-old Magali Heyberger, who after spending some time in South Africa, was inspired by the beautiful, original and quality crafts produced within townships.
