Hand-Embroidered
Art from
South Africa
Founded in 1988 by artist Irma van Rooyen in Letsitele, Limpopo, Kaross began with just five local women sitting on a traditional kaross (blanket), using their embroidery skills to create beautiful handcrafted pieces.
Irma’s vision was simple: transform traditional craftsmanship into sustainable employment while celebrating African heritage.
