A proudly South African design studio
Rooted in storytelling, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage
My journey began in Paris, where fashion and craft from around the world
taught me the language of style, detail, and beauty.
It is in 1996 where I came for the first time to South Africa and became
fascinated by the Arts and Crafts of the Zulu communities, masters of beadwork
and weaving. I began designing a range of home and fashion accessories for the
European market together with skilled Zulu crafters and learned that every
stitch, bead, and knot carries meaning.
It’s this shared dedication to beauty and storytelling that forms the heart
of Dillon and Jada, where our aim is to design and curate home and fashion
accessories inspired by the textures, colours, be it the raw the intricate
patterns of local craft, or the warmth of shared traditions. We combine
timeless design with thoughtful detail, ensuring each creation feels as
personal as it does stylish.
Thank you for stepping into our world. We invite you to explore, connect,
and find something that speaks to your own story.
