Zambezi & Grace is a luxury exotic leather brand. With their responsible conservation practices, they’ve systematically restored once near-endangered populations of the Nile crocodile species to the Zambezi Valley over the last twelve years. During our early conversations, the owners told me in passing about the African elephants in the area that have uniquely adapted themselves to stand on their hindlegs to reach for the higher branches of the Acacia trees - a rare and fascinating behaviour unique to the elephants of the Zambezi. After many other iterations of the logo, I came back to this timeless picture that captured the wild, unpredictable beauty of the valley, and what Z&G stands for.
Motherland stores are more than just coffee shops, they're all about the communities that have come together around coffee, ideas and conversation. We wanted their new house blend to be all about the regulars who have made Motherland their third space. Emphasizing “Our” in “Neighbourhood” seemed like a simple and appropriate way to let the community own it.
