HAND CRAFTED COLLECTION

ABOUT US

handcrafted with love

Established in 2017 by Tofo local Catherine Yeats, Coral Tree Tofo is a small craft business employing Mozambican artisans who create bags and other items using traditional capulana cloth & recycled materials such as old rice bags.

All products are handcrafted with care & love from our home-based studio in the beautiful seaside village of Tofo in central Mozambique. We believe the natural beauty & colors of this stunning coastal setting & the spirit of the people who live here, are reflected in our fabrics.

Coral Tree evolved from a love of the strikingly colourful fabrics seen everywhere in Mozambique and the desire to create sustainable employment in a very poor local community. From our small beachside town, Coral Tree has progressed from an idea to a reality, thanks to the skills of our local artisans...

PROUDLY MOZAMBICAN

OUR FABRICS

mozambique capulanas

These products are made with love in the small beach town of Tofo using a combination of traditional Mozambican fabric (capulanas) and recycled materials such as rice bags.

Capulanas date back to the 15th century and form an integral part of traditional Mozambican daily life. The brightly colored cloth is used as a skirt, a dress, a towel, a baby sling, and almost anything else that a piece of cloth can be used for.

We hope you enjoy these proudly Mozambican products as much as we enjoyed making them...
