Traditional African Arts and Crafts
Cambanos and Son Agencies is a small, family-owned specialty store in Johannesburg town center opened by Jean and Dennis Cambanos in 1982. They offered customers something extra, personal service, and the pledge that they would always make sure the customer was happy.
The business is now one of the biggest in South Africa, supplying the world with African curios. But the pledge remains the same “Make sure the customer is happy” and hope they eventually become friends. The business is still run by the family today; Gerry Cambanos is only a phone call away if you require a piece of Africa in your home.
