Quazi Designs was started in 2009 in order to create much needed employment in Swaziland, Southern Africa. They started with the concept of a simple rolled paper bead earring displayed on a card, employing one artisan, believing in the potential to have a positive impact.

They design for sustainable change and social impact, creating responsible and thoughtful products by transforming discarded waste magazines into original accessories and interiors. Based in Swaziland, all Quazi products are hand made by local women, empowering them through skill sharing and a living wage. They believe that craftsmanship and ethical production can be a vital economic sector for Africa.
