Ethical Trading
Tilnar Art sources Fair Trade products from Africa. We supply our unique range of products to retailers around the country and we are always looking for new retail partners. Tilnar Art is recognised as a Fair Trade importer by BAFTS (the British Association of Fair Trade Shops). We take great care in ensuring that we pay a fair price for our products and that our products are as eco friendly as possible and either sourced from sustainable sources or made from recycled materials. Our UK retailers include most of the major zoos, garden centres and numerous independent gift shops.

If you like our products and you cannot buy them in your local area, then we will sell them directly, although we would prefer if you buy them from one of our retail partners.

Fair Trade Recycled Handbags & Wallets New for Spring 2009
Tilnar Art’s fantastic new range of Fair Trade Recycled Vinyl Record Handbags and Recycled Car Number Plate Handbags are exclusive to Tilnar Art and brand new for Spring 2009. They are made by two very creative artists in South Africa and are the must have eco friendly fashion accessory for 2009.

Fair Trade Raku Pottery
Tilnar Art is proud to exclusively offer the stunning Raku Pottery Range from South Africa. These stunning pieces are all handmade in South Africa and are treasured by collectors throughout the world. Each piece is unique in colour and design and is individually hand painted and signed by the artists who make them.

Unique Fair Trade Handmade African Ornaments and Gifts in Wood, Stone & Tin
Tilnar Art’s wood, tin and stone carvings are purchased direct from artists in Zimbabwe. We source our products through a small family run supplier in Harare who have been working with and supporting these talented artists for over 10 years.

Your purchases of our products help provide stable employment and basic needs for many dependants in a time when unemployment and inflation in Zimbabwe are at unimaginable levels. All our products are Fair Trade with the artists either working for themselves or working in co-operatives.

Please note that Tilnar Art does not support the regime of Robert Mugabe. To the contrary, the items are purchased direct from the artists, thereby supporting the indigenous tribes of Zimbabwe. We believe that it is now more important than ever to keep supporting these artists during these increasingly difficult times as the ability of these artists to support their families depends on our purchases.

We hope you enjoy our website and the Tilnar Art collection.

The ideal ornament for your home or gift for weddings, birthdays and special occasions
