After months of planning and expectation, the Love the Hoed range of bespoke clothing was finally on show for the first time, and for the lucky people invited to the launch.
The launch happened on the Friday, 3 March, and was put on in collaboration with Chikshak Design, in the garden at the Farm House on the R527.
It turned out to be a fantastic afternoon with very many attendees, scrumptious food supplied by Arugula, lovely bubbles and wine, and an excited ambience all-round.
On show for the first time in Hoedspruit was the LTH Collection of bespoke kaftans – both long and short. Each one of these pieces of art, is individually made (there are no two the same!) of sari crepe silk and other selected soft fabics, with individual trimmings. Colour and comfort is the name of the game, and it is quite clear that these items are professionally made, and every care has been taken to ensure quality and precision detail in every piece.
Some 60 items were shown of both the long and short kaftans. Everyone attending the launch was blown away by the workmanship and colours, and many were sold on the day. That excitement has carried through after the launch. The kaftans can be viewed at Chikshak Design throughout the week and on Saturday mornings. It is also possible to discuss and make up your own unique design (material dependent). These items are wonderfully cool, very attractive, bright and light, but at the same time elegant, and are well suited for the Hoedspruit climate.
Make sure to find your way to Chikshak Design at the Farm House and feast your eyes on these wonderful works of art – I certainly have two in the cupboard already!
‘Love the Hoed’ is a trademarked design house that specialises in easy-wear clothing, but they also have a more rugged range that is more suited to the day-to-day life in the `Hoed’. Make sure you find your way to Chikshak Design on Saturday 1 April, for a peak at the more extensive range, from elegant to the more casual ‘T’s’. See you there!
