Botanique Studios

The masterful handicraft of wild tamarind and jumbie bead seedwork was a dying art, with only five women left in the world to create it until Botanique Studios.

Botanique is putting Antiguan and Barbudan seedwork, a tradition whose African origins have outlived and transcended its challenging past,

on a global stage of excellence, imbued with a message that is undeniably as beautiful, empowering, and profound as the craft itself.
