It is officially the autumn-winter season, and rather than pull out the head-to-toe monochromatic outfits, sink into bold colours and prints, cosy fabrics and indulgent accessories.
While the weather may be, winter looks don’t need to be dull. The luxury of dressing for the colder months is more layers, more colours and more fun to be had.
Aranda Textiles is the custodian of traditional blankets in South Africa and abroad. This year, for the colder months, the textile house has tapped pattern designer Glorinah Khutso Mabaso to celebrate African history and heritage. The pieces bring the outside to interiors via the continent’s landscapes, people and unique fauna and flora. Available through Aranda.
Yeba Ayo tote bags are just the thing to hold your vitals on a winter stroll.

The leather totes, which are made to order, are perfect for carrying essentials during wintery walks. Keep it close to your heart, like a lucky charm. Available through IndustrieAfrica.
