Our story
Jerimani is the story of transcendence. It is a story of determination and ambition. It is a story of being uncompromisingly authentic.
Thambo Mrewa, Lead Designer and Co-Founder of Jerimani, finds her roots in Harare. Driven by the desire to create and by the need to provide, she adopted Johannesburg as the canvass upon which she would deliver her artistic vision.
Design process
Each Jerimani creation is uniquely hand-made with care and precision. Each Jerimani product range is intended to reflect Thambo's vision of harmony, central to the Southern African ideal of ubuntu. Each pattern, each colour bears a story that connects tradition with modernity. That connects rural with urban. That connects art with life.
The shweshwe fabric, hand-selected from markets in both Johannesburg and Harare, is manufactured using acid discharge and a copper roller printing technique on pure cotton calico. The intricate designs are created using 'picotage', a pinning fabric printing technique rarely used in contemporary fabric design due to its complexity and expense. The result is unique patterns across each piece of fabric.
Each item is sewn by hand in Thambo's central Johannesburg workshop by her wonderful family, under her experienced guidance and focus on exceptional quality, before making its way to London. And beyond.
