These coasters are inspired by African and Caribbean heritage, where colours, symbols, and materials carry deep meaning. The cowrie shells represent prosperity, femininity, and spiritual protection, while the bold colours and patterns are drawn from Pan-African identity, nature, and cultural storytelling. Each design is created as a miniature piece of textile art – from the blue circles reflecting water and flow, to the earthy greens of nature, the golden tones of the sun and fire, and the silhouette of an African woman symbolising strength and beauty. Together, they celebrate tradition, identity, and handmade craft with a modern twist.
