On why he started his line

I have always been passionate about knitwear since childhood, I took up art as a major subject and learnt knitwear when I was young. In exploring knitwear design solutions when I saw a gap in what amakrwala (Xhosa Initiates) were wearing at the time. I wanted to create a modern Xhosa inspired knitwear collection. The aim was to create premium knitwear that celebrated traditional Xhosa aesthetics, from exploring astonishing Xhosa beadwork, and reinterpreting it to modern knitwear.
