In any metropolis, street style offers a reflection of the society at hand. The sartorial selections of the urbanites in question offer glimpses into their cultures and creativity. Urban Mosadi accessories are pan African pieces for the stylish and urbane. Tiisetso Molobi, the mother of UrbanMosadi, has imprinted part of her own personality on the pieces, they are unmistakable; her signature low-key luxury complimented by authentic African materials.
Knowledgeable on the rich history of the materials used in her designs, Tiisetso, reflects on how the stories contained in the Kente and mudcloth hold our heritage as Africans, she says, “Imagine all the wonderful stories that these textiles hold? How can one not want to show them off and share them with the world? But most importantly, with our peers across the rest of the continent? It’s a dope way to share identity.”
Urban Mosadi pieces offer a doorway into the history of Africa in a powerful, and beautiful way, her bags and camera straps can be found on the bodies of the talented and trendy the world over, she counts the likes of AKA and Trevor Stuurman amongst her clients. The Mudcloth lookbook profiles Tiisetso on a day in her life, her pieces peppered throughout the day as she works, skates and cycles through Cape Town. The laid back luxury of the collection is vivified in the video, each piece pulled together to portray a beautiful balance between fashion and function, work and play. It is sublime.
