ARK OF O DESIGNS

A fabric with a story

Ark of O Designs gives traditional South African Shweshwe fabric a contemporary feel. Its distinctive patterns and deep colours provide the basis for accessories and textile designs that bring together tradition and modern design.

In this way, a fabric with a rich history finds a place in everyday life once again.

Tradition, Retold

Behind Ark of O Designs is a creative couple with a love for African stories and the beauty of South African textile traditions. Their designs show how cultural heritage can be reinterpreted and given new meaning over time.

With each design, a piece of that history takes on a new form, bringing tradition into contemporary interiors.

"Passionate about telling African stories through print and fashion."
