Inspired by an unexpected encounter in Zimbabwe, Patrick Mavros' newest sterling silver creation transforms a remarkable story into a future heirloom, one rich in character, craftsmanship and meaning…

What does it take to inspire an entirely new creation from one of Africa's most celebrated luxury houses? Sometimes, just one unforgettable character… In this case, Huntsman Greaves - known to friends simply as ‘Hunty’ - whose charismatic spirit and distinctive woven silver bangle caught the attention of Alexander Mavros during a chance encounter in Harare's Happy Valley.

That moment sparked the creation of a piece unlike anything the family-owned brand has produced before. Built around a solid sterling silver core and meticulously woven with hand-drawn silver wire, The Huntsman Bangle is crafted entirely by hand in Patrick Mavros' Zimbabwe studio.

Both appear in the Airbus Exploring the Horizons study among high-demand corridors where passengers continue to route through a third city because no carrier has yet launched a service.

Some of the continent’s connectivity gaps have narrowed over the past year.

Sisonke Gallery at the Cape Heritage Hotel is pleased to present ‘North Bound’, from the Overberg to Tunisia, Rentia Retief's new solo exhibition at Sisonke Gallery charts a journey of belonging on show from 3 June to 31 July 2026, the exhibition marks another significant chapter in Retief’s evolving exploration of place, memory and the emotional life of the natural world.

The exhibition was born from a transformative experience: an artist residency in Tunisia, on the northernmost tip of the African continent. For Retief, who grew up in the Overberg (not far from Africa’s southernmost point) this journey was significantly personal. North Bound brings together works made during that residency and in its aftermath, alongside paintings inspired by recent travels through the Northern Cape and Limpopo.

The title carries both literal and metaphorical weight.
