Why choose our products?

MORE THAN JUST A BEAD

When the founder of Mzuribeads first tried to market the product in the UK, she was told that there was no market for beads which cannot be mass produced. Mzuribeads took this as a compliment, and went on the search for customers who want a unique bead, one which cannot be replicated.
In respect to a greater concern for the environment, human rights and independent style; the demand for the recycled, handmade, and "one off" product is on the rise.
Mzuribeads are special because the colour of each bead is determined upon the specific recycled paper chosen by the beader. We go to great lengths to obtain the most fashionable and unique colours around. Gathering the best of waste paper from printing companies, and being first in line at the recycled market places.

Our beads are very durable, the larger the bead, the more coats of varnish we apply. This minimizes colour fading, and gives the beads a glossy and water resistant finish.

Each bead is checked for quality and judged on their even coat of varnish, and symmetrical shape.

We are, however, able to cater for requests of large quantities in one colour or tone. For example, if the order is for many beads in light blue. It may take us a little longer, but we are confident that we will succeed.

MORE THAN JUST A PURCHASE

Mzuribeads is one of the many inspirational projects moving away from charitable aid, and onto the concept of business enterprise for sustainable income and development. We are a cooperative business, which pays a set price, decided as a group, and as advised by the Fairtrade Foundation.
