Celebrating Carrol Boyes
Carrol Boyes’ legacy is superior. Carrol Boyes was the founder, creator and CEO of the Carrol Boyes (Pty) Ltd retailer in Cape Town. She was an iconic South African designer and her brand has deftly crafted a coveted and high-end product range of upmarket home and lifestyle items.
At the age of 35 she decided to live her dream of being an artist. She began making crafts from her home in a seaside suburb of Cape Town in 1989.
She had a special talent for taking relatively plain and unadventurous traditional utensils and transforming them into sculptured collectable items. This vision has been successfully passed on to her design team whom she mentored for over a decade and who continue to create products after Carrol’s death in August 2019.
The life and legacy of Carrol Boyes lives on in her designs that has touched many nationally and internationally.
We remember Carrol as we celebrate Women’s Month and the anniversary of her passing. The brand also launches the Glass Bowl and Stand – All Dressed Up.
“All Dressed Up” was sculpted by Carrol in 2018 and is one of the few of her sculptures where the figure is clothed. The flares of the dress provide a practical solution to the gravity-defying pose. Caught in
movement, she presents her offering to the world.
An iconic centerpiece in durable cast aluminium, perfect for displaying fruit, flowers, or a spectacular layered dessert. Price: R8,495.00
Available in all Carrol Boyes Retail Stores and on www.carrolboyes.com.
