  • Description: A cardigan jersey made by Ms Bam Senior, which evoked feelings of joy and warmth. In 1978 Ms Bam Senior visited Dr Brigalia Bam in Switzerland and was surprised by the cold weather and told Dr Bam to buy wool in order for her to knit a jersey to keep her warm. Dr Bam never wore the jersey after her return as it made her miss her mom greatly. Mrs Bam Senior sewed Dr. Bam's first coat that she wore at school and she hated wearing it as other children did not have clothes but little blankets. Hence she hid it at home in the garden instead of wearing it. She wanted to be like other children. Ms Bam Senior sewed all Dr Bam's clothing and rarely bought anything from shops. , Photo taken of original garment as a JPEG image , Donated/gifted to Nelson Mandela University Archives by Dr Brigalia Bam , Forms part of: Brigalia Bam Collection
