Pretoria - Fashion designer, Simon Rademan, was robbed of R9 000 in cash and R20 000 worth of jewellery early on Monday, Pretoria police said.
Rademan, who is known particularly for his wedding dress designs, was in the bathroom of his New Muckleneuk home when two men armed with handguns entered his home at 08:30.
"They obviously knew who he was because they called him by name," said police spokesperson Inspector Percy Morokane.
He said the robbers held his two assistants at gunpoint while they forced Rademan to open his safe.
The robbers fled with the cash and jewellery.
"A description of a very distinct ring and a special black bag will be circulated in the hope that somebody will recognise the stolen items and alert the police," Morokane said.
