Yes Iam Afrikan makes clothing for adventurous people.  It is a common-enough goal, but one rarely accomplished with elegance.  We are proud of what we do, because none of it is done in the shadows.  Whereas, the industry norm calls for dungeon-like conditions to house faceless workers who have been left with little choice but to accept subservient wages while shoveling mediocre products out the door, our textiles are designed with our daughters playing at our feet.  Our clothes are tailored while our mothers look-on and fuss on the rare occasion that we miss a detail.  Our tees are concocted while our wives remind us that not missing dinner with family is more important than almost everything else.

Story-telling is important to us.  There is magic in the idea that every item we produce means something; and more importantly, means something different to different people.  We strive to give each piece an identity and history of its own.  It is our hope that these small pieces of (often-invented) history will give the wearer a story to tell, a place to visit, and a new memory to create.
