The African toad story begins at a certain time at a certain temperature when the rain softens the ground and releases thousands of flying ants, or Aelates, to pursue their queen. Every creature that can eat in this part of the world relishes flying ants. Birds fill the sky hawking them, rodents eat them, children trap them and toads hop about whacking them with their big, sticky tongues.

Each piece is lovingly handmade in our studios in Zimbabwe and in Mauritius. We promise it will be worth the wait! The pieces are then packaged with great care and shipped to you.

At Patrick Mavros, everything is charmingly human. Here nothing is automated.

If you shop at our online store, your order lands on Alexander Mavros’ desk and is given to our concierge to complete.

Every piece is personally selected and polished by hand, it is then wrapped in our signature wrapping paper adorned with silver foil elephants, crowned with a colourful silk bow, and bestowed with a handwritten optional gift message and prepared for shipping.

All with care and sincere thanks for your support. Each owner of a Patrick Mavros piece is part of our wider family so please keep in touch as we love to hear what adventures it gets up to over the years.

For payments made by PayPal, refunds will be credited to your PayPal account and will be visible immediately. Reimbursement time to the credit card associated with your PayPal account depends on the company that issued the card.

Parcels are returned at your own cost, and it is advised that you obtain a free certificate of postage from a courier company of your choice, as we can only be responsible for your parcel once it has been received into our store.

Patrick created a pair of earrings for his wife Catja, who wore them to the hair salon, where her hairdresser saw them and requested that a pair be made for her. Soon afterwards, all the other ladies who went to the salon were asking for similar earrings and from this gift of love, our journey as Africa’s luxury house began.

Patrick and Catja have injected their style and creativity into the magical environment of their home and studio in the sanctuary of the Umwimsi Valley where they brought up their four sons.

From day one, the boys grew up immersed in the creative surroundings of their father’s studio. Alexander, Forbes, Patrick Jnr and Benjamin infused the house of Mavros with their enthusiasm, creativity and passion with a serious pinch of fun...

Marrying intricate craftsmanship with an intrepid family heritage, every piece that we make has been designed by a member of the family with the sole intention of bringing delight and showcasing the very best of African luxury.

Love pervades everything connected with our business, from the design and production of our works of art to the care and attention given to serving our customers and friends and, of course, our love of Africa.
