THE FUSE

Shlobo Designs and the Remarkable Journey of Azande Ndebele. Azande Ndebele’s journey begins long before Shlobo Designs became known for its handcrafted beaded accessories and genuine leather bags. Her life has been shaped by unexpected twists, personal resilience and an unwavering commitment to people. Today Shlobo Designs reflects more than craftsmanship. It represents connection, culture and community, all deeply rooted in the meaning of its name. Shlobo is a Zulu word that describes a relative, a friend or anyone who stands within your circle. For Azande, this idea became the heart of her brand, guiding her path through difficult chapters and remarkable breakthroughs.
