Meet Ivy
Giving discarded things a beautiful second life
Ivy Grace was founded by Ivy Nhlapo in Cape Town with a simple belief: something thrown away can become something treasured. Ivy takes recycled can tabs, old CDs and t‑shirt yarn and, by hand, turns them into jewelry, bags, accessories and decor that feel both earthy and elegant.
Ivy's pieces have a way of starting conversations. She once made a lasting new connection simply because a stranger stopped to ask about the bag she was carrying. That is the magic we hope every Ivy Grace piece brings to its owner.
SustainableRescuing materials that would otherwise go to waste.
HandcraftedMade with care, patience and skill, piece by piece.
