Absolute Originals

AVOOVA ostrich eggshell designs are a rare and precious form of functional art;
a luxurious veneer of eco-friendly ostrich eggshell fragments, exquisitely handcrafted to embellish decorative items, fashion accessories and bespoke furniture.

Hundreds or thousands of shards of broken eggshell - collected from the local ostrich breeders - are painstakingly selected and placed in individual designs, which undergo a series of elaborate processes to protect and enhance their beauty.

The designs are infused with a sophisticated, African sensuality - marrying tones of ivory shell, the timeless beauty of the ancient Karoo and the demands of contemporary lifestyles.

AVOOVA has blossomed into one of South Africa’s most beautiful and innovative products. Only available through the company’s exclusive retail partners and its own flagship store in Cape Town, a limited selection of AVOOVA products can now be purchased online through this website (Residents of South Africa only).
