Holiday in a nutshell

Fabric
As I had mentioned in a previous post, a few month's back I dedicated my business, which is a Christian brand. Under the umbrella of the brand I have my jewellery division and the apparel side. 

The above picture, is a picture of Xhosa blankets usually worn by Xhosa bride when welcomes into her new family. Having worn the blanket a few years back as seen in the link: https://jewellersbride.blogspot.com/2018/04/when-i-became-xhosa-bride.html?m=1
One of the struggles I found with the blanket was trying to do work while wearing it. So my designs are a contemporary spin of the Xhosa blankets to suit the modern generation and are not mainly designed for brides, but anyone. 

The above picture is one of the sample jackets I had made during the holidays using a blue Xhakato and swade fabric. I had just finished making it when I took the picture.
