WHY PRINTS?
Prints and bright colours are prevalent throughout the African continent, and they often carry messages which are used as a vehicle of dialogue. Whilst Dutch wax fabrics are worn throughout Africa and have become popular within African fashion, prints have existed on the continent amongst the many different people groups, long before the introduction of Dutch wax fabrics.
WELCOME TO THE NEW AFRIEK
Welcome to the new AFRIEK. As you know we put the store on a break last year with the hope of coming back stronger and with a clearer vision and mission. Over the last couple of months, we have spent a lot of time thinking about our place in the world.
