Made for conscious wearers, Vuyi’s work is a celebration of Africa’s cultural aesthetic. Inspired directly by pan-African textiles, motifs and iconic symbology, Vuyi adapts what is, to tell and retell stories of heritage and evolution.

Her hope is to celebrate Africa every day, to express deep-rooted tradition outside of cultural norms or events. Consciously and respectfully, she hopes to spark discussion and engage viewer with wearer and piece. The work is subtle, the inspiration rich.

Vuyi allows her creations to form organically, living with design ideas in her head for weeks before attempting manufacture. When made, she wears the piece tirelessly, to see how it wears, how it may tarnish, how the design may be improved. Only when certain of the story, piece and quality does she release it as offering.
