Apart from clothing, jewellery is a big part of BCM. Leading towards the launch of Become in 2021, we did not have enough resources to capture the initial idea. But we got a better one. We wanted something fresh, simple, and impactful. BECOME launched on Africa day, May 25 2021. Celebrating Buntfu. How befitting. It all came full circle…in the stars. Become!!!
We use locally available ropes, with varying intensities, according to piece design. Metal finishes are used for a polished look.
Gold/silver/white jewellery clasps, hooks, and chains. We use a metal that matches. The choice of adhesives depend on the work at hand.
Our ropes, cut to design length, are covered in colourful fabric and finished off with decorative/non-decorative thread.
Prints on each strand are chosen in harmony to each other, to produce a tasteful, artsy look.
Matched with big headwraps and Lihiya, the pieces were worn on all-black for the BECOME-launch photoshoot
Majesty was the theme. Launching and BECOMING.
