Era by DJZinhle is a timeless fashion-accessory brand founded in 2012 by South African House Music DJ, author and super mom, DJ Zinhle. The brand Era, which embodies sophistication and style, started out as a time piece specific brand that has now expanded into a wide range of accessories. The brand was built around the notion and idea that us, as women, should use this specific moment in time and in our individual journeys, to conquer whatever it is we forsee. It was and still is our mission to inspire and bring light the fact that our time is in fact now and we hope our products act as a reminder of that message. For us, there's nothing more precious than time. It's how we measure what's important to us, and it also acts as an indication of our growth. That's why we've built our product line from watches up.

Nkarhi

Nkarhi is an African timepiece brand, inspired by AFRICA and designed for the world. It was while travelling the African continent installing solar energy systems that the founder, Elmond Khoza, noticed the distinctive characteristics of African cities. “African cities are alive with a heart and soul of their own, and hold hopes and dreams of many, like myself who left their home to seek a better life in the city” . He then vowed to one day create a product that celebrated and paid homage to African cities. He made an observation that in recent times African flair and design styles have been the lifeblood of the fashion industry across the world, and this is easily noticed on international fashion runways.

LN Watches

Since love cannot be seen or touched our watches are masterpieces that translate this feeling. We strive to be the mark that you make on the wrists of those who have and continue to imprint on your life. In so doing just as the colours in the ancient Nguni bead work has a significant meaning, so do the colours in our watches as derived from the original Nguni meanings. Red symbolises intense love, Blue stands for fidelity. White shows virginity, faithfulness, true love, and as universally recognised it also stands for purity. The density of the colour black stands to represent marriage and regeneration, and green is for contentment. Finally yellow, representing wealth and fertility.
