Yay! I am really excited about the new Fundudzi collection — by the very lovely Craig Jacobs — being in store now at Blackbeard & Dare around the country.
It is a beautifully simple collection of eco-friendly pieces, embedded in, and inspired by, the unique natural environment of Africa.
Shown at Joburg Fashion Week, the clothing is all completely wearable and accessible. There are lovely dresses and skirts and t-shirts. And then there are some shorts and blouses as well. Fabrics are as organic as possible and there is also plenty of use of the sustainable fabric made from bamboo. Bamboo has a comfortable and luxurious feel to it while looking much like a jersey knit. It also drapes beautifully on the female form, and is thus both flattering and comfortable.
And with any garment that you buy that has been made from bamboo, a proportion of the proceeds from the sale will be donated to charities associated with The Trust who support charities and causes that work to the benefit of the African continent.
Beautiful and worthy, what more can you ask for in a collection of designer clothing.
