Do you have a love for things that speak cultural, authentic, and unique? I am one for finding things that captures the essence of where that piece was created. Sometimes telling a story of it's own, being made by someone of that native country. It makes it a little more special then perhaps shopping at a fashionable mall.
Here are some of my great treasures, from the mother land Africa.
Lime Batik Super Snap Clutch
The Super Snap clutch makes a great evening bag or could easily add a nice touch to a more casual look. With bright colors being the thing for the spring this clutch will be great. It is made in a batik fabric from Nigeria known as 'Adire' and It is also lined internally with a black cotton fabric.
Boxing Kitten 1st shoe collection
My love of off beat and quirkiness is why I personally love these shoes. And if you are just like me then these eco-friendly shoes will tickle your fancy as well.
Yinka Cuff Bracelet by Bestow Elan
A beautifully crafted arm piece. This is not your normal arm cuff, this small authentic piece is just the right amount of cultural beauty to add to your wardrobe for this spring.
ASOS AFRICA Printed Blazer
Ok so blazers are always hot and are perfect for making a outfit look fitted and constructed. This African print blazer is great for the spring/summer weather because it is not overly heavy. Its very lightweight and can make a simple outfit look chic and unique.

ReplyDeleteI love it when fashion shares global traditions, especially in textiles, and yes I would love to own that clutch. Bright happy print that really is timeless without a whiff of boring. Nice selection here.
ReplyDeleteTribal prints are "trendy" at the moment and I'm glad. It means these amazing traditions get to reach people it never would have reached before. Besides I love garments with a history, and sportin' an amazing print like the ones above have history and make memories.
All of these are fantastic. that lime clutch and shoes are my favorite among the selections. Beautiful and rich looking!
