About Harmattan Handmade
Harmattan Handmade showcases exquisite jewellery and artworks, made by the hands of Africa’s finest artisans.
Harmattan Handmade Description
In adopting the name of Africa's most transformational wind we reflect our ambition, to emulate the Harmattan, a wind that sweeps across the Sahara; influencing every facet of life within reach of its dazzling haze.
Just as the Harmattan spreads winds of change across the African landscape, we aim to sow our own seeds of socio-economic change across the continent.
Every piece in our collection of finely-crafted merchandise tells a story. From our Timbuktu inspired ceramics, to crocodile tooth jewellery from the Victoria Falls and the vibrant artworks of our artists; we provide opportunities for African artisans to showcase their unheralded talents to international markets.
To acquire a Harmattan piece is to become the custodian of a finely-crafted, authentic African asset; an acquisition which signifies that the winds of change are beckoning.

While we can be disappointed by the choice of leaders some make for their nations, we should be incensed by the malevolent actions of those who would plunder anything in front of them for profit. #RhinoKillers. #savetheRhino #ThingsYouWishwerenotTrue #ANC

"Just Married" - A #Tshuma masterpiece we have for sale at Harmattan. What a privilege it is to work with one so gifted as Methuseli Tshuma. #fineart #AfricanArt #EdinburghArt #fairtrade #artwork
It was a privilege to view these intricately crafted Ghanaian carvings, owned by the Graham family in Edinburgh. For near 3 generations, they have been a cherished family heirloom.
These carvings were presented to the Grahams, at a ceremony alongside the British Royal Family, by Ghana's own Royal Chieftaincy.
