South African Jewellery designer Henriette Botha is the real deal !
Born and raised in Johannesburg, Henriette Botha studied Jewellery Design at the University of Johannesburg, followed by a postgrad in Fashion Design at Instituto Marangoni in Paris. Having worked at well known fashion house, Balmain Paris, as a collection coordinator for over 2 years, she finally decided in 2012 that it was time to come home and pursue her own dreams. The main aim of Henriette Botha is to take the skills of traditional South African craft, add a modern twist and unconventional materials, as well as to create employment. Every piece is handmade, unique and beautiful for bold and individual women. Peep more below and check out her website here

DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: SINDISO KHUMALO
SINDISO KHUMALO is a womenswear brand with a strong focus on contemporary textile print design. The brand combines bold African inspired graphics with a sophisticated minimalist construction. The concept behind SINDISO KHUMALO is based on how the fashion textiles industry can create new possibilities and future collaborations between Africa and the global fashion environment.As soon as I saw this s/s 13 collection I thought of Solange Knowles , no its not because of the afro but the pieces. The geometric print in each piece is absolutely amazing and we all know how Solange loves prints. This debut line has already been featured on Elle South Africa, Arise Magazine , and more.
