Where it all began

Where it all began

When I was a little girl visiting my family farm in Kwa-Zulu Natal, I had a secret ritual. I’d sneak into my grandmother’s closet.

Cynthia’s closet was a portal to her extraordinary life. Silk blouses scented with her perfume, fur coats commissioned from London (though hilariously impractical in humid Ethekwini), and items collected from her trips to NYC, Europe, and beyond.

Each piece told a story, not just about her style but about the adventures she’d lived, the people she’d met, and the dreams she’d chased. For me, it was more than a closet. It was my Narnia, a magical space that made me dream of faraway lands where anything felt possible.

Cynthia taught me the generational impact of clothing. These aren’t just garments; they’re stories, memories, and pieces of history that shaped her life—and, in turn, mine.

I’ve made it my mission to design products that protect your closet and the stories it holds. Our standard is best-in-class because your clothes deserve nothing but the absolute best.

Let’s protect your closet together.

Holly.
