Craig Hollinshead: Was born in Harare in 1973. He obtained a BCom(hons) from Rhodes University prior to embarking on a career in Financial Management. Having become the Financial Controller of a large insurance company, he took the opportunity to go into business for himself. This led to the development of a global vision for the marketing and distribution of African Arts and Interiors. He has committed his future to Africa and the realisation of the global dream. This lead to the attainment of the sole sourcing contract for the ZuluExclusive group.

Bryan Daly: Recently disposed of a large Tourist Transportation company based on Lake Kariba. As he is a very experienced businessman who was looking to commit to a new venture and being a close friend of Craig's, they developed the Global Vision together while on a trip around the world. He is a very strong Operations Manager and speaks a number of the local dialects. He has travelled very extensively regionally and internationally and has business contacts in a number of the world's major business centres.

Ivan Carter: We are very happy to have formed a distributor alliance with Ivan Carter.  Ivan has been in the safari and marketing business for the last 15 years and grew to be one of Africa’s top professional guides.

Curio City (Private) Limited is the sole sourcing agent for the ZuluExclusive group. Based in Msasa Zimbabwe, Curio City has extensive warehouses, packing facilities and a comprehensive Quality Control section

We purchase from selected artists direct. We have formed a good relationship with them over time and because of the shared mutual trust from the large quantities that we buy they are happy to offer us good prices. These artists sell from places like Tengenenge, Kubatana, Chitungwiza, and a variety of roadside markets.  

We personally check each item for quality. We take measurements, artists name etc. We try to buy in bulk from artists, this way we obtain lower prices. Packing is probably one of the most important stages when exporting. After carefully selecting, each piece is individually wrapped at our premises by our own packers. Normally pieces are covered in shredded paper first, then wrapped in plastic and finally crated.

Documentation and Exportation

We handle all documentation and export logistics to suite your needs. We will export your shipment using the most appropriate means of transportation. Please see our shipping page for expected costs and further information.

Quality is very important to us, we will carefully select your range of goods to offer you quality, originality and uniqueness. We make no apologies for not offering uniform shapes and dimensions. We believe the craftsmen should not compromise tradition and style handed down through the generations in order to conform to European ideals of size and standardisation.
