Everyone can agree that accessories can make or break an outfit. Other people suggest a minimalistic approach when choosing the right accessories but others say maximalism is the way to go. What if I told you that there is an in-between; an actual approach that will suit your style?
Everyone loves their heritage and it would be great to have an accessory that is the perfect combination of culture and modern glam – particularly one that is made to suit your taste alone. Before you get to your search, allay your fears and allow me to introduce you to ICHIBAN CRAFTS – the new go to for cultural accessories with a modern twist.
WHAT PRODUCTS DOES ICHIBAN CRAFTS SELL?
The business is renowned for the creation of custom accessories for all customers. In celebration of the Basotho culture, Ichiban Crafts creates Seshoeshoe inspired accessories with a modern twist.

MEET THE PIONEER OF ICHIBAN CRAFTS
Miss Mpho Machona is a 29-year old female leaving in Mazenod. She attended school at Leribe English Medium High School and attained a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Development Studies at the National University of Lesotho.
She started crafting at a young age because her aunt was a tailor. Her eyes as a young child always lit up when she saw the life that her aunt brought to fabrics.
In her own words, “For me, it was the passion I saw in my aunt that forged my way into crafting. I loved how hands could transform a piece of nothing into a work of art.”
Today, Mpho uses that love to run her business and aspires to see it grow into a cloth manufacturing masterpiece and have more channels of distribution for their accessories.
