Amarasti is a remarkable initiative that not only produces exquisite handcrafted items but also profoundly impacts the lives of rural and peri-urban women in Eswatini. At its core, Amarasti is about empowerment. By providing employment opportunities to women in these communities, the initiative enables them to support their extended families and contribute meaningfully to the education and well-being of their grandchildren. It’s a heartwarming example of how economic empowerment can uplift entire households.
The founder’s passion shines through every carefully designed piece. Each item is created with love, patience, and dedication, using traditional hand-beading and embroidery techniques deeply rooted in Swazi culture. The vibrant primary colours used throughout the designs reflect the joyful and spirited nature of the Swazi people, adding cultural richness to every creation.
Amarasti is proudly based in the scenic Malkerns Valley at the Swazi Candle Complex — a popular stop for tourists exploring Eswatini. This location provides an ideal platform to showcase the products to both local and international visitors, bridging local craftsmanship with global appreciation.
Since its establishment in 2008, Amarasti has grown steadily, cultivating a loyal global customer base. What sets it apart is the seamless blend of exceptional workmanship, vibrant design, and a heartfelt commitment to making a difference.
Amarasti’s journey is an inspiring one – a testament to how creativity, cultural heritage, and social impact can come together to create something truly special.
