Holiday Gifts that Represent Your Heritage
People are searching for ways to reconnect with their roots more than ever. One way is to incorporate your ancestry into your Christmas traditions. You can do so with holiday decorations, cultural traditions and foods and by giving gifts representing your Heritage from the Heritage Collection.
The Heritage collection was born from a desire to share South Africa and Africa’s deep and meaningful history with the world. These patterns represent the symbols, attributes and traditions used to express self and culture, those aspects of our Heritage that have shaped our understanding of the world and our place in it.
This Holiday Season, the Heritage Collection wants to highlight some of the excellent home fragrance gifts that celebrate diversity and are a joyful addition to any shopping list.
Unity Basket
Our Heritage is our traditions. Offered as a traditional gift at Zulu wedding ceremonies, the elaborate and intricate basket pattern symbolises a new union and represents the wealth and power of a family.
Blended with fragrance notes of lime, rich oud, and spicy patchouli, the combination of scents in the Unity Basket collection is audacious enough to permeate any interior. Ingredients such as lime, apple, and tangerine are usually associated with words like “fresh” and “energetic”. When combined with woody notes – including oud and cashmere woods, the result is a bold yet refreshing fragrance.
African Denim
Our Heritage is an expression of identity. The love of Shweshwe has been passed on from generation to generation. Today, it is celebrated across all cultures as one of Africa’s most beloved prints.
This fragrance has the ideal blend of refreshing lime with captivating coconut, releasing a subtle kick of relaxing vanilla.
Maluti Spiral
Our Heritage is our crown, just like the rare and beautiful Spiral aloe found 2000 meters above sea level in the renowned Basotho Mountain Kingdom.
This collection comprises a perfectly balanced blend of ingredients. Base notes of sandalwood, iris, musk, and vanilla lie at the heart of this fragrance, evoking feelings of comfort, security, and love. The herbal and floral notes of lavender and rose elevate the scent and add a natural feel.
Painted Tradition
Our Heritage is our legacy. Painted Tradition combines historically adopted concepts with linear elements in today’s environment. The vibrant Ndebele pattern celebrates the talented women who carry these traditions.
Like its colourful packaging, this collection beams with sweet, floral, warm, and soft fragrance notes. The base notes of sandalwood and cedar set a soothing atmosphere, while the heart and top notes conjure images of sunshine and wonder.
There are plenty of ways to incorporate your Heritage into Christmas gift-giving thanks to the Heritage Collection. Giving gifts representing your Heritage is sure to become an annual tradition the entire family looks forward to.
