Maybe folks did not know what was at the rear of our inspiration and how it came about.
Sipho Lushaba, Designer
Lushaba describes the inspiration for the layout.
The inspiration came about immediately after we had been briefed about what they desired and what they would adore to use. So from there, we designed a print of our personal which was influenced by the Mandela print.
Sipho Lushaba, Designer
We took aspects of the Mandela shirt which is the Mandela print and we came up with the Significant 5 and took one of the big five animals, the leopard, and incorporated that with the print and incorporated the Protea in the print.
