About us

Hello!
My name is Zuzana, and I warmly welcome you to my online shop, filled with the vibrant essence of traditional Africa! My journey, however, is a little unconventional. Since 2006, Nigeria has been my second home. It's where my husband comes from, and it's a place we regularly return to with our family. Today, we are surrounded by the joyful chaos of our three children, who are lucky enough to grow up embracing both of their cultures and seeing the world from different perspectives.

I have always wanted to do something meaningful. And as we move between these two worlds, we have quite literally stitched a plan through thousands of stitches in our beautiful fabrics. In Africa, we source these fabrics, known as Ankara or Wax Print, from market women, often mothers for whom this is their only source of income. I love the idea that my business not only sells beautiful things but also connects and empowers people.

This website is a very personal space for me. Here, I share my view of life in Nigeria, through colours, fabrics, stories, and the small moments that connect me with African culture. It's not always just beautiful and colourful, but it's real life seen from a different perspective, one that has taught me a lot. I want everyone who visits to catch a glimpse of the world that inspires me so deeply.
