The Ninevites
A textile design line that makes beautiful things, Ninevites create inventive designs with made-to-be-touched textures. Gorgeous objects that take pride of place in discerning homes. But it’s more than that, they’re telling a story too. Of black culture and unheard voices. Of age-old traditions in a modern context. Of heritage and handicraft. Life, culture, collaboration, and inspiration, gathering threads from across the continent and weaving them all into one story.
Their rugs are meticulously handcrafted by women artisans in the Western Cape using 100% South African-grown mohair. Empowered by their handicraft, these local women hand spin and dye the raw fibre using trusted techniques to ensure exceptional quality and durability. The bold, geometric patterns are inspired by traditional patterns in African basketry, pottery, murals and beading to express the untold stories of indigenous Southern African craft in vivid, visceral form.
