These two fab South African brands have finally hit Swiss soil and are sure to become just as loved here as they are back home.

Both sustainable and inspired by the natural world, they will be there for you on every adventure.

Over the next few days I’ll introduce each of the brands and tell more of their STORIES. The online store is in development and the stock is on its way. Thank you for following this little South African Swiss [ad]venture!

These beautiful things might come all the way from the South of Africa but they fit right in here in Switzerland. As if they were designed for life by the lake (: Der See). In the Alps (: Die Alpen). On the trail (: Der Wanderweg).

kuh /kuː/ Cow (Deutch)

A conspicuous part of the Swiss landscape. Even in the villages near the city one can often hear the arrhythmic clang of cowbells. (I got quite a surprise when I heard them my first Spring!)

khaya /ˈkāə/ From the African Nguni (Zulu) word “i-khaya”, meaning dwelling, abode, or home.

So this is [Khaya und Kuh].

When I moved to Switzerland in 2021, I knew I wanted to keep the apron strings tied to Africa. Tied to the country of my birth, South Africa. And I knew that I wanted to do this by meaningfully supporting the small business economy there. Those dear ones who survived a nonsensical lockdown. Who survive daily electricity blackouts and escalating levels of dangerous crime. Who continue to make and continue to grow.
