Ngala Trading Co (“ngala” is Shangaan for lion) offers a wide variety of up-market products for the home such as decorative lighting, furniture, accessories, cushions and rugs. Products are handmade, in South Africa, of exotic indigenous materials such as feathers, ostrich eggs, leather, porcupine quills, suede, horns, ostrich shins, and a variety of game skins. We operate a sustainable model of sourcing & manufacturing: all of our products have been sourced from suppliers who are commiCed to ethical business practices. For clarity, this means that :
• all animal skulls have been sourced from game reserves where the animal has died in the wild, or been killed during a legislated cull
• all cow horns and leather have been sourced from farms whose primary business is raising cattle as a food source, and who sell the cow horns & skins as a by-product of food producRon
• the artisans working in the tanneries and factories in which our products are made are paid a living wage, and who work in a environment that is regularly examined by independent regulators.
