Spitalfields
One of the first things that come to mind when one thinks of Africa is fashion. African textiles and jewellery have become increasingly popular, making its way into the stores of many Western retailers. Yaaya met some up-and-coming fashion and accessories designers, and discovered a lot of talent and creativity amongst them.
We also checked out some of the products at the skin care and beauty stalls that specialised in using natural ingredients only found in Africa.
Ines Kitoko make African-inspired accessories. We found her hats in particular to be stylish statement pieces, and versatile enough to complement any outfit.
Accessories Lots is a new label that specialises in leather belts and bags. We liked the quality of the leather, their matte finish and their lightweight feel.
Shifara Jewellery hand-make Ethiopian Jewellery, which we found absolutely stunning! The detail and craftsmanship, as well as the symbols and colours used in their pieces proudly displays Ethiopian culture.
Skin Care and Beauty
Essence of Morocco produces natural beauty products made from Argan oil, which is extracted from the Argan tree that only grows in Morocco. It has various nutritive, cosmetic and medicinal properties, and is often used to: hydrate skin, improve skin elasticity, and improve the appearance of stretch marks and scars.
Stay tuned for our last post in our coverage of the Africa @ Spitalfields event, Monday 3rd June, which features the home interiors and toys stalls.
