Koketso Sedumedi




Ketso’Koi Creations is a registered brand whose original vision it was to design a range of organic jewelry reflecting a truly innovative African design aesthetic that makes use of the dried skins of Calabashes, porcupine quills, various pods, seeds and wood that has now become the primary medium that is employed by PAP in its training programme. In addition to the range of original earrings that is manufactured by the PAP trainees and staff, Ketso’Koi also designs a range of hand crafted, organic neckpieces, reed caps and woven hats and serves as the marketing arm of PAP.

Ketso’Koi’s creative expression includes an exclusive range of haute couture with an eclectic interplay of styles, textures and design elements that reflects the diversity that is inspired by Africa and creates a range of made-to-order interior design accessories that include original wall sculptures, cushions and lamps.
