“Africa is the Future”, “I Wear African” “DRC Clothing ” etc are just a few of the African inspired clothing lines that have allowed Africans (especially in the diaspora) to show their African pride. For two years, Ghanian clothing line “Kayobi” has been taking it a step further with its politically-charged-meets sometimes -humorous statements such as “Make Fufu not War” (which happens to be one of its bestselling tshirts). Founder and creator of the line, Kwabena Boateng spoke to Jamati Online about the beginnings of the brand, its unique selling points, and the future.

Written by Prudence Chauke | April 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Lalesso is a clothing line that is made from the profound “lesso” mostly known as a ‘khanga’, that was co-created by Olivia from South Africa and Alice from Kenya. The duo started Lalesso during their second year at university. Inspired by the vibrant colours and intriguing prints, the exclusively summer fashion brand encapsulates the pure spirit of holiday, sunshine, sea and sand. The “lesso” or “khanga” cloth was originally a spotted cotton handkerchief brought to East Africa from India. By using the “khanga cloth, Lalesso aims to share with the world a hint of East Africa in a sexy and a stylish way.
