Patrick Mavros

Harare, Zimbabwe 

Patrick Mavros is a renowned African luxury brand founded in 1980 by Patrick Mavros, inspired by a personal gift of hand-crafted earrings he created for his wife, Catja. The earrings caught the attention of others, sparking the creation of what would become one of Africa’s premier luxury houses. Based in the Umwimsi Valley in Zimbabwe, the Mavros family—Patrick, Catja, and their four sons—infused their creativity and passion into every piece, combining intricate craftsmanship with a deep love for Africa's heritage and wildlife. The brand is celebrated for its exquisite designs that embody the spirit of Africa and has grown into a global name with stores in London, Nairobi, and Mauritius. Patrick Mavros has become a symbol of African luxury, known not only for its jewellery but for its commitment to conservation, notably raising awareness about the endangered pangolin.
