I’m sure everybody gained one or two new skills or habits in 2020; maybe counting your steps to the fridge and back, scrolling through TikTok all day or reading books about history. My latest habit? Creating boards on Instagram for new fashion and beauty brands I discover after spending an insane amount of time on the app.
No matter my mood, I love discovering and shopping pieces from underrated brands with unique stories and interesting designs. As fashion week is in full swing and we enjoy new collections from top brands around the world, I’m happy to highlight all the beautiful Made-in-Africa fashion items that are in my heart (and cart) right now. Here you will find an array of pieces that fit my preppy and vibrant style; from swoon-worthy dresses and simple basics from new brands like This Is Us and Rendoll Lagos to stunning two-piece sets and striking jewellery from Jermaine Bleu andK’tsobe – brands that have been around a few seasons in. So keep scrolling, here’s a chance to know about these really cool African brands and add some new pieces to your closet.
