Patrick Mavros

Patrick created a pair of earrings for his wife Catja, who wore them to the hair salon, where her hairdresser saw them and requested that a pair be made for her. Soon afterward, all the other ladies who went to the salon were asking for similar earrings, and from this gift of love, our journey as Africa’s luxury house began. Patrick and Catja have injected their style and creativity into the magical environment of their home and studio in the sanctuary of the Umwimsi Valley where they brought up their four sons. From day one, the boys grew up immersed in the creative surroundings of their father’s studio. Alexander, Forbes, Patrick Jnr, and Benjamin infused the house of Mavros with their enthusiasm, creativity, and passion with a serious pinch of fun… Marrying intricate craftsmanship with intrepid family heritage, every piece that we make has been designed by a member of the family with the sole intention of bringing delight and showcasing the very best of African luxury. Love pervades everything connected with our business, from the design and production of our works of art to the care and attention given to serving our customers and friends and, of course, our love of Africa.
