Über uns
In 2018, Industrie Africa was launched as a portal for discovery of the continent’s most exceptional designer talent. An indispensable tool for the fashion industry, it soon garnered international critical acclaim for its unique digital showcase and diverse representation of Africa’s contemporary fashion landscape. Today, we are redefining the narrative around mainstream pan-African culture and fashion. In May 2020 we launched our new chapter, an innovative online retail destination, elevating the best of African fashion, content, and community. We curate the continent’s most covetable brands, from ready-to-wear to accessories, and deliver them straight from the designer to your door. Shop brands by region, style and craftsmanship, and use our sustainability framework to make informed choices on your purchases. Think everyday artisanship to conscious luxury, Industrie Africa offers a fresh take on the African labels you love (and have yet to discover).
