  • NGV International (map)

Are you a teenager looking for creative activities these holidays?

Join Collective Closets sister duo and Melbourne Now designers, Fatuma and Laurinda Ndenzako, for a bracelet beading workshop.

Drop by and make a colourful beaded bracelet and learn about the traditional African fabrics and production techniques Fatuma and Laurinda use to create timeless and intentional wardrobe staples here in Melbourne.

About the designers

Collective Closets was founded in 2016 by sisters, Fatuma and Laurinda Ndenzako. Paying homage to their late mother and talented seamstress, Stella, the brand was born as a way to celebrate the women in their community. Together, the pair are passionate about telling stories, giving back and uniting women through a universal sartorial dialogue.

Collective Closets was created to fill a gap in the Australian market – one that connects to the talent, beauty and rich history of the African continent. Each Collective Closets collection is a celebration – of both the incredible artisans who make the threads and the beautiful people who wear them.

Tue 26 Sep, 12–3pm and Wed 27 Sep, 12–3pm.

Free. NGV International.
