Their products are hand crafted by local artisans using iconic and colourful Ankara fabric (also called Africana). Although a small company, they provide employment and fair wages for all who contribute to their operation.
They are also very conscious about minimizing their environmental impact. Where possible, they source second hand fabric known locally as “junks” and use them in most of their products. They try their best to make use of every scrap of fabric and the unused portions are donated to local craftsmen who re-purpose these scraps in to rugs, jewellery, etc.
