Patrick Mavros
Patrick Mavros is a Zimbabwean sculptor and jewellery designer. His internationally coveted pieces are inspired by the surroundings of his sanctuary in the Umwimsi Valley.
Although he is baker by trade, Mavros’ design career began when he spent time recuperating from an illness by carving his wife, Catja, a pair of earrings. Shortly after, Catja’s hairdresser and her patrons saw Mavros’ designs. Presently, demand grew which supported the growth of a family business.
Commitment to Wildlife
The Mavros brand’s immersion in the wildlife that they live amongst is undeniably evident in the timeline of his creations. As a matter of fact, 1987 saw Mavros cast his first silver elephant, now the brand logo, after Zozo the baby elephant arrived to live on the family farm. The elephant has since featured across some of the most iconic Mavros designs, such as the Candelabra Pair, Hair Bangle and Ele Mustard Pot.
Mavros’ commitment to the environment is also reflected in their conservation and design projects. 10% of the proceeds from sales of the Pangolin collection are donated to the The Tikki Hywood Foundation, which supports the protection of the species. The oil spill off the coast of Mauritius motivated the family to design a dedicated bangle. The subsequent sale of which supports the work of The Mauritian Wildlife Foundation.
With a workshop in Zimbabwe, atelier in Mauritius as well as flagship store in London, Patrick Mavros is an international brand that seeks to intimately connect audiences with the majesty and beauty of the Mavros family home. Counting The Duchess of Cambridge as a loyal customer, with also Prince George gifted baby elephant figures, Mavros’ naturalistic pieces are anticipated to generate considerable interest.
