White PP linen for the hotel garden and pool; a navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes for the hotel restaurant evening.

For the Fairmont The Norfolk. The historic luxury hotel in central Nairobi — the Lord Delamere terrace, the colonial architecture. A PP linen shirt in white or a composed natural with linen trousers and leather shoes for the Norfolk terrace occasion.

“Nairobi — Hemingways in Karen, the Fairmont Norfolk, the Giraffe Centre, and the safari departure. Warm earth-tone PP linen for the Out of Africa context; navy for the hotel restaurant evening.”

— Pieter Petros, founder
