Hungry for knowledge
Excellence through collaboration. The story of Abongile and Andile
The next phase of our artists collaboration platform is an evolution from the master craftsman, Andile Dyalvane, to a female led collaboration of three designers from different backgrounds, with different expertise and skill sets – that come together to craft a collaborative piece that brings the sanlam private wealth brand to life.
The process will allow for open discussion to explore the concepts of craftsmanship, customisation, confidence, lasting value and generations to come. What does it mean from each designer’s perspective and how can it be expressed in an authentic, inclusive way?
Abongile, a young boy from a humble background, had always possessed a burning curiosity and a passion for creativity that shone through his eyes. Born into a world where opportunities were scarce, he clung to his dreams with a tenacity that surprised even the most skeptical hearts. One day, a glimmer of hope emerged as a sponsor recognized Abongile's potential and offered him the chance to attend a prestigious school, a gateway to a world he had only dreamt of.
Stepping into his new school was like entering a realm of enchantment. Abongile felt a mixture of excitement and trepidation as he navigated the halls lined with students who seemed to come from different worlds. But it was there that he met Andile, a talented artist who had transcended his own struggles to become a beacon of inspiration. Andile recognized Abongile's raw talent and his hunger for knowledge, and he became both a mentor and a friend.
