Inspiration & Social Impact
In 1932, a golden rhino artifact was discovered in the ancient Kingdom of Mapungubwe, Africa. The Black Gold collection honors Africa’s natural wealth and the royalty of its first kingdoms. It also pays homage to the endangered wildlife of the African continent. A rhino adorns the packaging as a tribute to the ancient African kingdoms.
