Baobab Batik Swaziland

Bloom tablecloth in the making! See the final product in the last picture.

All our products are made by hand. Here Sebenzile is waxing a Bloom tablecloth for our shop at

All our Baobab Batik products are dyed by hand by two dedicated women, Busi and Bonsile.

To dye products requires attention to detail, skill and experience. If the recipe is a few millimeters out the colour will change from how it looked last time we dyed it.

But did you know the temperature and pressure in the air also impacts how the colour will look? We have one colourway we only dye on hot, sunny days!

Visit our workshop to see our process in action. Our book a workshop to try it yourself (minimum 4 pax).
