My name is Dorotheé Von der Osten, as founder of Mambo Jambo our design work is particularly close to my heart since it supports cultural craft development and uplifts talented women and artists from disadvantaged communities by giving them jobs and opportunities to refine their skills. We upcycle jackets into wearable art pieces, made with love, one-of-a kind, hand embroidered and beaded and made to last. The women live from this work, mothers can feed their families and work from home and unknown artists can freely express their creativity and have exposure to retail markets. Since South Africa has also been severely affected by lack of tourism in this time of the pandemic, we hope to generate global awareness on our work so we can generate more orders to empower women and feed more families in need.
