We set out to find talented designers, authors and artists from Africa and inspired by Africa. We were immensely impressed and proud of the amazing talent we found on the continent.<\/p>\n<p>From the Kazuri beads handmade by 300 Kenyan women to the gorgeous bags created by self professed Ankaranista, Bola Obileye. Not forgetting the gorgeous bags from Mar y Sol which have been featured in Marie Claire and the Ankara hand fans made in Spain. Our aim was to bring to our customers products that tell a beautiful story of Africa &#8211; we hope that our initial and subsequent product ranges will achieve that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some of Our Designers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have carefully chosen designers who share our vision and we are extremely proud of what they offer our customers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The T\u00d3T\u00c9 collection by Nigerian born Bola Obileye<\/strong> is so fashion inspired. The bags, accessories and jewellery Bola designs are simply stunning; and entirely practical. Her pieces are almost show pieces that you will be proud to wear. She offers off-the-shelf items, and we are delighted to be able to take special orders for bespoke creations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/AHS-2B.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2470 alignleft\" title=\"AHS---2B\" src=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/AHS-2B.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"187\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/AHS-Tote.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2471\" title=\"AHS---Tote\" src=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/AHS-Tote.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"270\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p> ;<\/p>\n<p>The well known Nigerian based artist <strong>Henry Splash<\/strong> also features in our online shopping portal.
