Tintsaba: Empowering Women Through Fine Sisal Weaving
Founded in 1985 by Sheila Freemantle, Tintsaba has become a leading name in sustainable sisal basketry and handcrafted jewellery from Eswatini (formerly Swaziland). What began with 12 women in rural communities has grown into a network of over 1,000 artisans, including 20 Master Weavers and 26 women’s groups.
With a commitment to ethical production, Tintsaba offers ongoing training in leadership, skills development, environmental awareness, and women’s health, creating opportunities for independence and personal growth. Their award-winning designs are recognised for exceptional craftsmanship, timeless design, and positive social impact.
Together, we weave a better life.
