This year’s Tribal Chic show at Tribe Hotel in Nairobi, Kenya was co-presented by American arts & entertainment company, GenArt, as the first order of business for their new GenArt Global initiative. GenArt CEO Marc Lotenberg and the new Director of GenArt Global, Martine Bury, were in attendance, along with Hollywood actress Emmanuelle Chriqui who fell in love with our Bella snake cuff.

It was a fabulous and totally memorable evening and not only because we were launching our new collection – Rogo. A huge thanks to our beautiful models, to our team, to the organisers, stylists, choreographers and to everyone who came along to support, including the Rogo family whom our new collection is named after!
