Operating from a family sanctuary and atelier outside Harare, Zimbabwe, the house is renowned for its intricate, naturalistic sterling silver sculptures, bespoke tableware, and wildlife-inspired jewelry. What began as a solo endeavor has evolved into a multi-generational family enterprise. Patrick’s four sons all hold active creative and operational roles across the company. F ollowing the opening of its flagship boutique on Fulham Road in Chelsea, London (2004), the brand expanded to include an atelier and stores in Mauritius (2006), Nairobi (2013), Victoria Falls, and Cape Town. Wildlife conservation is deeply embedded in the brand's collections. Notable initiatives include the ZoZo Collection (named after an orphaned elephant raised on their farm) and Patrick Jr.’s Pangolin Collection (2016), created to raise global awareness and funds for the protection of pangolins.
