Artist: Napemba Mashopa

Born in Etsha, Botswana, in 1970 Napemba is married and has a daughter and two sons.

She left school after two years to care for her younger sisters when their mother passed away. She still looked after them after her marriage. Her husband is a successful carpenter, and makes good quality furniture. Their eldest son has left school because he finds it difficult to study in English, but they are sad because he also refuses to learn carpentry from his father.

Napemba learnt basket weaving from her mother who wove patterned, bowl shaped baskets. She was ten years old before she learnt to weave a proper basket herself. Many of the women in her mother’s generation did not know how to weave patterned baskets.

Napemba used to be a farmer as well as a weaver, but she now weaves baskets all year round. She likes to try out different designs, but her favourite pattern is the “clay pot” design. The traditional clay pots are becoming very rare in the area, and only a few men still know how to make them. In the past the big pots were given a name and were very expensive.

She prefers to combine black dye obtained from motlhakola (Euclea divinorum) roots, natural mokola palm and orange-brown from the motsetsnile (Berchemia discolor) tree.

When possible, Napemba prefers to buy the raw materials for basket making, as she doesn’t like risking encounters with snakes and other dangerous animals in the bush. However she sometimes joins collecting expeditions with other weavers, as there is greater safety in numbers.

Her work is featured in the permanent collection at The British Museum, London: Department of Africa, Oceania and the Americas.

Display window and additional storage
Color: Black
It has a nice carbon fiber look. The large window is great for displaying your watches and sunglasses. The box has plenty of room for rings, cuff links and necklaces.

Amazing value
Color: Black
Perfect jewelry box for my needs. Fits the watches nicely, I also use it for a few of my pocket knives. All fits well, looks great, definitely nothing over the top but simple, clean, and very functional.

Effective & Attractive with Wireless Charging
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
This "valet" organizer, which is the first time I've heard that term for a product like this, is nearly perfect. For me, it checks all of the boxes and in a perfect world, I would have opted for a smaller piece with only three compartments for mobile, wallet, and keys. It's well made and quite attractive, especially the blue (favorite color, so I'm biased). The only feature I'm not a fan of is how the removeable, wireless charging pad was implemented, which sits up on a small lip at a slight incline. However, I'm not complaining one bit as the wireless charging is great, and it's a differentiator that determines the value of the piece. I would have preferred the pad be built into the piece, however the angle of it does make it easy to grab opposed to using your finger(s) to pry it up.
