Miele is the Afrikaans word for corn, the staple diet of most South Africans and probably the first item on these weaver’s shopping lists.  Since 2002, Miele has grown to a group of approximately 30 people who work from their homes in the greater Cape Town area.  Mothers can stay with their children and transport costs are kept to a minimum.  It is all about making a difference in the lives of the weavers and their communities.  Each purse is signed by the artist who made it. 

All recycled materials from waste cotton fabric and leather offcuts are used to make these sturdy hooked rug bags and accessories.   Each piece is original.  Mielie bags are woven into designs that may vary within each colorway.
