Sisters of Afrika

SISTERS OF AFRIKA

SISTERS OF AFRIKA, a brand created in 2013 by Hélène Daba DIOUF, founder and Jeanne DIOUF her partner, decided to highlight local crafts to make unique outfits and value the know-how of their collaborators.

The name was obvious, in fact, from a family of seven sisters and a brother, Hélène worked in a multinational ready-to-wear in Dakar, and found that there were no clothes, made in Africa ready-to-wear type offering modern cuts.

Consumers then had to bring their own fabric to the designer and wait a week to receive the final product. The main objective was therefore to solve this problem by making a garment made by local artisans in order to highlight their work.
