WE HAVE CHOSEN LUXURIOUS FABRICS TO WORK
WITH IN THIS COLLECTION: SILK, SOUTH AFRICAN
MOHAIR, THE SOFTEST NAPPA LEATHER.
We have consciously selected natural textiles that feel
best next to your skin and we are especially delighted
by our own South African, ‘home-grown’ mohair in
our range.
SILK represents the feminine, the divine feminine, depicted by our
bodhisattva icon, the goddess of womanhood, illustrating how
women, through their love of beautiful things can transform lives
and restore balance and order in our world.
LEATHER represents our primal nature, which is care and concern as much
as it is desire and sensuality.
MOHAIR
represents soft warmth, the warmth we feel when we wear it
and the warmth we feel knowing that this has been hand-knitted
with care for us, allowing a community of rural women to enjoy a
sustainable livelihood.
THE SIMPLE SILHOUETTES
this allows the beauty of the fabrics and the aura of the wearer
to blend in a magical way. nothing overpowers the other. it is
about harmony, poise and balance - a spirit that pervades not
only our clothes, but also our business philosophy in pursuit of
designing a new, more inclusive, sustainable economy
Clothes bearing the Bodhisattva label are made for women who are concerned about the state of the environment and the economy. They are committed to leveraging their influence to bring about positive change
in our world.
The clothes that we have created for them are timeless
pieces; they are classics that will make a statement
now and in years to come.
