The exhibition Dada Africa is timed to coincide with this year’s Dada centenary.
​It will be the first anywhere in the world to be devoted to the Dadaists’ preoccupation with non-European art and culture. The sensorially explosive “Soirées nègres” at Cabaret Voltaire used a variety of artistic genres to attack artistic conventions and traditional values.

The answer is simple: Because we love handcraft and the creativity behind every single piece. We love that the objects reacitvate and intensify our memories linked to this beautiful country and its people. And furthermore, we have always an excuse to go back and meet up with these awesome people :-).

Like Caroline did this month in Cape Town with Thandie from nomihandmade. Thandie creates handmade jewellery, home décor and accessories crafted from authentic shweshwe fabrics. Shweshwe is a printed dyed cotton fabric used for traditional Sotho (South Africa & Lesotho) clothing. Check out some of her beautiful jewelry in our shop. By the way... but shhhhh.... don't tell anyone... the model in our shop wearing Thandie's creation is Caroline herself.

I stayed back Switzerland... poor me... well... yes and no... because if I didn't, I wouldn't have met lovely Donna! She's the Trade Manager at Mungo. Mungo textiles are designed, woven and made in South Africa. South African from start to finish. Donna stopped in Switzerland on the way to Paris, where she presents Mungo at the Maison&Objet trade show. Want to see what Mungo products look like ? Click here!

Furthermore, handsome, young designer Florian T. came by the shop to present his new "jewelry-babies". Each necklace and bracelet represents a city Florian loves. Such as... Cape Town for instance! You'll find his creations here.

P.S.
Stay tuned for more South African travel insights by Caroline on this blog and in our next newsletter!

HIGHLIGHT MY DAY
​im Shopping Guide "Zürich kauft ein"?
Ja, ja. Und dies dank dem Shop DOTTI'S.

Vielleicht wissen es nicht alle, aber HIGHLIGHT MY DAY
gibt es auch ausserhalb des World Wide Webs !
​Seit 2013 um genau zu sein.

Vor über einem Jahr haben Catherine und Ulrike von DOTTI'S,
HIGHLIGHT MY DAY ein Dach über dem Kopf gewährt! 

Nein, nein.
Wir waren nicht obdachlos.
Im Gegenteil. HIGHLIGHT MY DAY war zu diesem Zeitpunkt
​an der Motorenstrasse 14 im Kreis 5 zu hause. 

Kurz nach der Eröffnung erfuhr ich (Yolanda),
​dass ein kleiner Erdenbürger unterwegs war (an dieser Stelle: Merci Christian :) ).
Ulrikes und Catherine's Vorschlag mit HIGHLIGHT MY DAY zu DOTTI'S zu ziehen, war deshalb ein Geschenk des Himmels. Auf einen Schlag gab es drei nette Arbeitskolleginnen (Ulli, Catherine und Lena), eine tolle Location und mehr Laufkundschaft. Zusätzlicher Pluspunkt: Kundenfreundliche Öffnungszeiten (Di - Sa).
​
Ein kleiner Teil unseres Sortiments
​könnt Ihr also physisch an der Josefstrasse 144 in 8005 Zürich bestaunen.
Und deshalb sind wir dank DOTTI'S im Shopping Guide "Zürich kauft ein".

P.S.
​Darf ich vorstellen ? Die Mädels hinter DOTTI'S 

P.P.S.
That's me !
​Nicht der Hase ! Hinter dem Hasen !
