We create original pattern designs for the fashion, home and paper-goods market to produce timeless lifestyle and homeware collections. OUR STORY HOW IT ALL STARTED! In 2016, we set out to create a fashion collection made out of 'Ankara', what is generally referred to as African prints. Testing the market with our first sample collection, we discovered most of the fabrics we purchased, same pattern design and colour, used by other fashion designers. Also, while researching where to purchase these fabrics in bulk for seamless production, we also discovered that majority of these African prints were not designed by Africans nor produced in Africa. AND SO BEGAN AN EXCITING UNAFRAID JOURNEY! To change the narrative of the African print and shape a way forward by weaving modern stories rooted in the African context through our designs endorsing exclusivity and authenticity, but still retaining an awareness of current trends in design. Made in Africa, by Africans!
