Our Story

Meet Lydia

A beautiful woman who takes pride in her work and is eager to learn a new skill

Launched in 2016, Cotton Tree is a small business based in Johannesburg, South Africa, creating handmade, contemporary cushions. Our focus is on texture and original design, guided by environmental kindness and community upliftment. We use 100% cotton yarn for all our embroidery, sourced and hand dyed in South Africa.

The cushions are handmade locally by upskilled women, who pride themselves on delivering a quality, authentic product. We believe strongly in the ability of creativity and working with your hands to fill your soul and bring purpose to your life, as well as provide a means to earn an income.
