KUWALA: ready-to-wear, African-made and fairly-traded clothing and accessories
Kuwala, www.kuwalainc.com, is an online boutique offering ready-to-wear, African-made clothing and accessories that fuse African fabrics, beading, and embroidery with popular Western styles. Originating from the Malawian language of Chichewa, the words "ku wala" mean "to shine," while "ku vala" means "to wear." Hence the slogan "ready to wear, ready to shine."
Kuwala was born out of the desire for clothing that reflects the African heritage and contemporary influence of its owners, Veronica and Freeda. We have been fortunate to have spent time in Africa whilst visiting friends and family. During each trip, we were surrounded by ambitious and talented young people involved in innovative projects. Through Kuwala, our aim is to redefine Africa by making everyday African fashion easily accessible to the international market. At the heart of our business is the platform we have created for African designers and artisans to showcase and market their creations to the world.
Since launching in January 2014, Kuwala has partnered with several designers and cooperatives from Ghana, Kenya and Malawi, and continues to expand source countries. We enjoy working with talented individuals that show a passion for creating unique great-quality pieces. On our blog, Kuwala Highlights, we focus on telling the stories of up and coming African designers. Some of the noteworthy labels we carry include Ajepomaa Design Gallery whose pieces are often bold, colourful and eclectic; mSimps whose unique one-of-a-kind accessories are to die for; and Poqua Poqu whose creative pieces constantly re-invent contemporary African-inspired fashion.
