These shots were taken and styled by the talented team of Mike Baker and Heather Nette-King, and represent Kazari + Ziguzagu in our current incarnation. From antique to contemporary the pieces featured span 500 years of design.
These shots are a reflection of the hard work of our daughters Lucy and Hana who have recently joined the business. Our Malvern Road store has also undergone a transformation in the past year, if you haven't popped in recently it's well worth a visit! It's an exciting time for us, now heading into our 37th year of trading!
