At LULA handmade we aim to lower our footprint by using fabric that was once headed for landfills to create our handmade fabric products. We believe that even doing a little bit, makes a big difference in helping us lead a simple life: whether it is re-using and re-purposing fabric, or using bags and pouches to organize our lives..

Sure, there were plenty crazy busy days, but this year wasn't in your face.

Order. Clear communication. Confirmation. Production. Shipping.

Consistent. Healthy growth. Rest dependably diarized.

I think I want to continue building Lula this way.

2025 taught me that ...
Slow, thoughtful growth lasts longer 🤍

That shop owners don’t want trends — they want reliable suppliers, delivering consistent quality & service.

That handmade still matters when it’s done with care.🛍️

That South Africans still care about supporting local small businesses.🧡

And that I really feel strongly (much more than I thought) about supporting fellow small businesses.🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Sometimes it’s one tiny detail that decides whether a customer ever comes back.

Good stitching. Strong zips. Fabric that holds its shape.

Quality always shows — even when no one says it out loud.

You know you've hit a winning recipe when calm fits in a zipper pouch...

As a small business owner in the gifting business, this is what I do to just take a breath every now and againbin this CRAZY time -

I do something slow.
Something mindful.
Something that cannot be rushed.
I embroider.

That is how this limited range of bespoke zipper bags come to life:

In a calm, singular focus, intentional about one detail at a time.

And that's what they'll do for you too: they'll usher in the mindfulness, slow deep breaths & clarity you need for the weeks ahead.

(Very limited range. Each design is completely unique. Not available online. DM to order. 5 left. R200 per bag)

LOCALS supporting LOCALS to support LOCALS...

I know: That's a lot of LOCAL for one sentence right?

But how beautiful is it when local SHOP OWNERS support local SHOPPERS to buy from local MAKERS.

That's how we put our money where our mouth is!

At Lula we form part of the Supporting Local team by:
*. Sourcing our materials locally,
*. If my hands can't keep up with the making, a group of local women help me produce Lula products
*. Supplying South African gift shops with sustainable inventory their customers love.

Like these beautiful cosmetic bags - on their way to a local shop.

Yay for locals who work together for the greater good of our economy
Yay for South African small business owners who get it !

Want to get your inventory sorted for the upcoming Christmas shopping rush?
DM me & let's get talking.

Our Story

Living a simple, but meaningful life next to the mountains and sea near Cape Town, Marla delights in the calmness of nature, seeing her children become who they’ve been created to be and enjoying the adventure of life with her husband.Mountai

Having practiced as an Occupational Therapist in the past, and working part time at a local Skill development project at present, Marla has always found herself in situations where there are clutter to sort and clear, materials that can be re-used and re-purposed and empowering others to do the same. All ideal places to implement her innate creativity, professional knowledge & skill as well as previous personal and professional experience to help others grow and simplify.

Sensing a new season in both her personal and professional life, Marla started working on refining her thoughts, creative abilities and time use in order to start a new business at the beginning of 2020. As a testimony of her family’s perspective on life, faith and time, LULA was officially launched in the midst of the global Covid-19 pandemic! As mom of a teenager due for high school and twin pre-teens, the need for an increase in income provided a kick-start too!

LULA Handmade derives it’s name from the local isiXhosa word, meaning: ‘to simplify’, ‘ to make easy’ and is therefore a reinvention of something that’s always been a part of her life: re-purposing, simplification, helping others to make it easy. LULA’s products will continue to be made in a sustainable and eco-friendly way, collaborating with local community resources in helping others to easily take steps towards lessening their footprint too.
