Our Story
What is it that makes Africanism Collection special ?
My name is Dora and I am from Greece.
Africanism Collection was born through my Travels while Volunteering in Eastern Africa and Asia.
I have been inspired by the spirit lifting Colors and Crafts of people that we have met and lived with in our travels and work through our NGO Wheeing2Help with my husband and Partner, Elpidoforos.
Africa was the place that felt like Home to me and has treated us with Kindness and Love.
Africanism transmits this feeling by sharing unique articrafts, clothing and accessories handmade with passion by local artisans and small businesses from Around the World.
Also, Africanism is a platform for me to express my own creativity with crafts inspired by the mix of cultures that we are experiencing in our second homes in Africa and the World.
By owning a piece of Africanism Collection, you are part of the chain that empowers Women and Small Businesses to follow their dreams and have independent incomes.
If you believe in supporting an Ethical Slow Fashion Brand with Bold Colors,
then Africanism is for You !
Empowerment
Our Biggest motivation behind Africanism is working with local organisations to support Women and People reach their dreams and potential.
We are happy that we collaborate with the Women Association of Gongo Mamas, the Saving Africa's Nature NGO and also many other groups and individuals who share their love for what they do .
Through our business they can be independent and feel their self esteem grow just like all of us who want to do more in our lives for ourselves and our family.
Sustainability
Our clothes and accessories are created to bring color to your everyday life and to support an Ethical Slow Fashion that respects Creativity, People and Nature.
We are working day by day in making this Brand operate with a low waste mindset and be gentle with our resources.
We believe in fair payment and work so our collaborations always set their minimum prices acording to their needs.
Connection
We believe that the only way to make a better World is to try and bring people together by exchanging traditions and diverse cultures, and by supporting small communities.
Slow Fashion plays a big Role in this as we put objects in our daily lives we connect through their culture with the people who created them and their identity.
