Founded by Guyana-born Margaux Rusita, Margaux Wong is a Burundi-based jewelry brand that brings low-waste values and precious East African materials together to create collections of distinctive, wearable art. Crafted from cow horn, brass, and other sustainable materials using traditional East African crafting techniques, each unique, hand polished Margaux Wong piece serves as an ode to the natural beauty of Guyana and Burundi, as well as to the opulent traditional styles worn by their indigenous communities.

Founded in 2019 by designer Lezanne Viviers, South African label Viviers offers handcrafted concept pieces that eschew the latest trends in favor of unique, considered, and sustainable styles. Created from Viviers’ Johannesburg-based Lotus House atelier that also doubles as a concept store, the studio’s garments present a unique marriage of femininity and androgyny.
