Ukugwaba Season
Initiation Collection
He carries his isibhuku. He holds his ikhande. He does not run. This collection is for the family of every umsegwabo — and for the man he is becoming.
◆ The Season
Weight of the Moment
In isiNdebele tradition, a young man must be at least 18 years old before he enters the initiation school — though historically, many were 21 and above.
When he emerges, he is a man. That transition deserves to be marked with something that carries real meaning — not a generic gift. Something that speaks his name, his totem, his family’s praise.
Every piece in this collection is made for that moment. Personalised with the umsegwabo’s name and, where requested, his family totem or praise name.

His Name. His Totem. His Praise.
We personalise most pieces with the umsegwabo’s name, date of initiation, family totem or izithakazelo.
