Bisquit & Dubouché and Sash South Africa Unveil Phola Park Sunday Best

(Johannesburg, 19 September 2024) – Johannesburg’s Artistry became the stage for a remarkable fusion of fashion and fine spirits as Sash South Africa and Bisquit & Dubouché presented the highly anticipated Phola Park Sunday Best collection. This event was far more than a showcase; it was a multisensory experience, blending fashion, film, live music, and carefully crafted cocktails, all while celebrating the power of community and culture.

Inspired by the Zulu word "Phola," meaning to heal and find peace, the Phola Park Sunday Best collection evokes a serene Sunday gathering in Phola Park.

• Tranquil Sunset: A light, refreshing blend with a citrus twist, embodying healing and tranquillity.

• Sunday Picnic: Fruity and vibrant, this cocktail celebrated community and love.

• Golden Hour Sparkle: Sparkling with herbal notes, this drink reflected the warmth of a relaxed park setting.
