keepsakes inspired by African wildlife.
Reminiscence Africa is a collection of surface pattern designs that pay homage to the majesty and beauty of African wildlife. Inspired by the iconic zebra and the cheetah, symbols of culture and heritage, this collection explores the complex interplay between memory, culture, and design. Drawing inspiration from the intricate beadwork of the Zulu tribe, these designs capture the essence of the majestic cheetah and its mesmerizing spots, and the humble zebra and its distinctive stripes, frozen in time for eternity. The artistry of the Zulu people, who craft exquisite jewelry, necklaces, earrings, bodysuits, key rings, and figurines using wire and beads, serves as the inspiration for these drawings. Rooted in this rich folk tradition, these patterns celebrate the power of objects to evoke memories and connect us to our past, serving as a testament to the enduring power of cultural memory and the importance of preserving and celebrating our heritage. Each pattern in this collection tells a unique story, showcasing the vibrant and colorful flora of the African landscape. The collection is offered in two colourways. The first, The Golden Hour, effortlessly captures the ethereal essence of the African sunset, bringing warm, golden hues to life. The second colourway, The Final Hour, embraces the enchanting colours that emerge just before the day’s end, painting a vivid picture of the captivating beauty found in nature’s final moments. Reminiscent Africa captures the beauty and diversity of Africa in a way that is both authentic and timeless. The cheetah and zebras, camouflaged and lost, blend seamlessly into the surrounding
