The October/November 2025 issue of Esquire Magazine has hit newsstands and we are beyond thrilled to be included in the Blueprint style layout feature on luxury Horn Items

“Get H***y (Not Like That)
For a dose of every day luxury, invest in an accessory made from a material that’s beautiful, durable and heirloom worthy.”
By Nick Sullivan, p34-35

Our bestselling ANKOLE HORN Collection is sustainably made using the horns of Ankole-Watusi, a native breed of cattle to East Africa. The distinctive horns are an upcycled byproduct from the food industry and handcarved and polished by a small-scale cooperative in Uganda. The centuries old craft of repurposing horn to highlight color variations and the signature uniqueness of the material is a legacy art we are dedicated to preserve.

The Horn Mini Salt Cellar, Horn Spice Bowl and our biggest seller, the Horn Guitar Picks were all included in the layout. MAADILI COLLECTIVE is honored to be apart of this beautiful feature!

The Extra Large Radial Basket (our new favorite!) is made with plain raffia and banana leaf fiber. No dye is used, just pure 100% natural fibers that are locally abundant and available within Uganda.

We love sustainability almost as much as the newest collection of photos from our final photo shoot with the incredible Nicole McConville.

We hired Nicole in the early start up days of MAADILI COLLECTIVE and it’s truly one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Over the four and a half years of working together, Nicole went above and beyond to create stunning brand, collection and product photography that has elevated our company to new areas of growth.

Nicole, it has been an incredible joy to work with you. Best of luck on your new journey as the gallery director at , what a perfect next chapter for you. ✨

✨Here it is, our new booth set up at Marquee!! ✨ We couldn’t be more pleased with how things came together.

The week has been non stop, running on overdrive to prepare for the momentous one year Grand Reopening. So many emotions and literal PSTD with the process, but hope and this community of love has pulled us through.

Tears. Joy. Disbelief. Relief. Love. Resilience. Asheville has some serious heART!! 💜

And WOW, how we missed this place so much over the past year.

Thank you Robert and Rebecca for keeping the vision and spirit and bringing us Marquee 2.0. And to all the incredible staff, we missed you!!! Thank you, thank you!!

Thank you also to and for all the help getting this place set up, I couldn’t have done it without you!! 🙏🏻

The Flower Burst Basket….. one of our favorite designs of all time and which has been a constant in every collection we have released.

The ELEVATE Collection has two versions of this design because we couldn’t decide on just one. And it’s a perfect example of how the placement of colors within a design can completely change the look of basket.

Both baskets have the exact same natural colors, they are just placed in different ways within the design.

Which one is your favorite?!
