MOTHER'S DAY FAMILY TRADITIONS FROM TAMBURAI CHIRUME
We asked our creative and coveted design partners what’s on their Mother’s Day gift wish list this year. Below, handbags and accessories designer Tamburai Chirume, Co-founder of ONEOFEACH, based in Cape Town, South Africa, shares some of her most memorable Mother's Day moments.
WHAT IS YOUR MOST TREASURED MOTHER’S DAY TRADITION OR MOMENT?
Tamburai: We have never really had any particular family tradition that we practice, perhaps because we spend so much time together. Everyday feels like Mother's Day. My siblings and I always make sure that we coordinate getting her a nice gift or an experience that she will treasure forever. She does not necessarily celebrate Mother's Day but we make sure that we make her buy into it each year.
WHAT IS YOUR FONDEST MOTHER’S DAY MEMORY FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD?
Tamburai: I think my fondest memory must have been hand making cards at school which we would give to our mum's. My mum always really appreciated it.
FAVORITE 54KIBO ITEM THAT YOU'D LIKE TO GIFT ON MOTHER'S DAY?
Tamburai: My mum does not necessarily celebrate Mother's Day but as Africans our mom's sisters (aunts) are also considered mothers to us so my aunt who lives in the UK is a huge fan of Mother’s Day so I always make sure that she feels appreciated too on that day. Extended love. #yourmumismymum
Tamburai: Definitely a ONEOFEACH bag and the entire ceramics collection.
