About Noxolo
Noxolo Sitshinga is a South African fashion designer, creative director and founder of Purple Pot Designs, a contemporary fashion brand combining timeless elegance, craftsmanship and sustainable design.
Her practice
Her creative practice explores fashion through natural dyeing, responsible materials and innovative textile techniques, while creating sophisticated, wearable pieces for the contemporary woman.
The result is clothing that holds its shape and its colour — quiet in its detail, considered in its making, and built to stay in a wardrobe rather than pass through it.
