About Us
Since 2013, the Whimsical Collection team has grown steadily.
Our products are primarily handmade in our warehouse by a dedicated team of craftsmen and women from the local community. Each piece features one of
Dezireë Smith’s Whimsical designs, bringing fine art into everyday objects while maintaining a strong sense of authorship and quality.
Wildlife and conservation remain key focus areas for the team. We actively support South African charities and initiatives dedicated to the protection of indigenous animals and conservation efforts across the country.
Whimsical Collection is built on patience, integrity, and a long-term commitment to both craft and care.
MADE IN SOUTH AFRICA
Story
Our Story & Mission
We are a proudly South African company that celebrates African Wildlife by creating products featuring African animals painted by Dezirëe Smith.
We are based in the beautiful city of Cape Town and we empower local communities through job creation. As a company, we remain faithful to our wild animals as they battle to survive.
All of our products a handcrafted and exclusive to us. Our products are manufactured in our studio and packed by hand.
Our paper products are produced from a registered sustainable forest. We aim to keep our footprint green and hope to inspire our buyers to do likewise.
We promote the plight of endangered African animals by donating to ‘Care for Wild’, dedicated to rearing the baby rhinos that lost their mothers to poaching.
