The Eden Shop

With a humble start in 2013, the business was initially known only as Eden Art which was then a small enterprise created by owner, Leigh-Anne, as a creative outlet and a means by which to marry a passion for creative design and craftsmanship with commerce. Eden Art initially produced quirky and colourful hand-crafted stationery – all designed and made by hand locally – with a unique South African flavour. Eden Art quickly grew and the holding company The Eden Group was formed, under which all its brands were developed, each with their own unique product offering. As a proudly South African female-run business we are emphatic in our desire to- Stock predominantly hand-crafted products (all the products in our in-house brands are handmade)- Promote local small business growth (and as such try to source as much of our materials as possible from small local businesses and artisans)- Uplift and empower our staff by continually training them in multiple fields to grow their skills set- Encourage a shift in local consumer habits to focus more on ethical shopping and understanding the massive difference it makes to South Africa’s economy and employment rates by buying local.
