Description
About Kapula
A manufacturer of vibrant handmade and hand-painted candles and ceramics, built on family values and focused on creating sustainable employment. This is Kapula.
Kapula began as a hobby in Ilse Appelgryn’s kitchen in 1993 and quickly took on a life of its own, becoming a fully-fledged family business in 1994. Today, Kapula continues to grow from strength to strength.
CANDLES
Kapula’s unique candles are all handmade in Bredasdorp, a small town situated in the heart of South Africa’s beautiful Overberg region.
Raw materials are all meticulously sourced to ensure that every Kapula product is of the utmost quality. Every product is crafted by hand from beginning to end.
UNIQUE AND
VIBRANT DESIGN
A Kapula design is unmistakable – it’s colourful, brave, and reflective of Africa’s vibrant spirit. The design team comprises Ilse, her daughter and the hand-painters themselves. This inclusive, collaborative approach ensures variety in line with current trends, as well as a sense of ownership for all team members.
CREATING SUSTAINABLE EMPLOYMENT
In a small farming community where it is not easy to find a job, we remain fiercely loyal to our handmade processes to ensure sustainable employment for as many people as possible.
More than 90% of Kapula’s employees are women, half of which have been part of the team for more than 10 years.
