My Rheingold

Let me introduce you to the ' RHEINGOLD "

Let me introduce you to my " Rheingold De Luxe" a 1956 Sewing Machine, a genuine German make, complete with all needles and accessories in perfect working order. Purring like a baby kitten.

Actually I thought I was buying a small desk only, that was inexplicably heavy when trying to carry it to my car, but inside was hidden this little treasure.

Admittedly I was not able to figure out through which ones of the hundred little hooks to winde the thread. But that's what friends are here for. And I have a very good friend, Annegret, who can be named the mother of all seamstresses.

Frorm a designer stand-point of view it has to be added that this design can not be topped-not in your wildest retro dreams.

And this pillow case serves as living proof for my words.

Made from a variety of South African traditional ShweShwe fabrics and vintage borders.

The Glory Of The Turban

The turban, the head-wrap, the head-scarf, whatever it is called has added glamor and shine to women's appearance all over the world through the centuries and across the colors and nations. From Marlene Dietrich to Miriam Makeba. 

But nobody can wrap it like the African gals. 

And since the turban has conquered the fashion scene once more with all its might we have developed a range of cotton head-wraps produced and made locally in South-Africa.

So wrap it , wear it and do not be shy at all like we do it here in Africa.

DELFT BLUE

Chocolat Negro is proud to announce a new range of pillow covers that are made from locally produced 100% cotton fabric. As part of our vision we have created a new line of products that proudly represent the 21 st century South Africa.

Delft Blue is a new and modern take on a traditional century old pattern. This pillow case is made from very thick and heavy cotton, called Shweshwe in South Africa, and produced in East London.

a stunning variation of the old and well known

The new range is available from now on in our shops
