Floral Rwanda
Suhaa Schmitz’s jewellery and accessories freely cross boundaries.
While it remains difficult to source Rwandan materials, all leather in the Suhaa Schmitz range is locally made in Rwanda, and recent collections feature “designed and handcrafted in Rwanda” pieces using Sisal dyed and woven by local women. At the same time, Schmitz incorporates Swarovski Elements in items like earrings and bracelets and is proud to be the only designer in Kigali and East Africa to have been branded by Swarovski.
