Afriek's colorful dress is designed by Dutch designer Lisa Konno and made from 100% organic Tanzanian cotton produced by BioRe with Corozo buttons from Ecuador. The print is a collaboration between the Rwandan artist Crista Uwase and the French textile designer Stéphane Barbier. It is printed at UTEXWRA, a local Rwandan mill and printer, and sewn by our great team of tailors in Kigali, Rwanda. You will find the name of the tailor who made your dress in the neck label.
AFRIEK is a transnational collective that showcases the beauty and power of cultural exchanges, aiming to contribute to a more sustainable and equal world. Through the medium of fashion and design, we bring together craftsmanship, storytelling and sustainability within Africa and Europe. We focus on the dialogue between individuals from these contrasting cultures – both creative and conceptual – bringing about truly collaborative, and colorful collections.
