Living in Ethiopia has been an amazing journey of many ups & downs...but one of the 'ups' has been my exposure to the textile designs of countries across this wonderful continent ~ from Sierra Leone to Uganda.

I love the textiles that are being designed and created here in Africa ~ 

they are full of colour, texture and originality.

But most importantly, they tell the visual story of the culture of each country and its people, all while making women look beautiful!

I think it is time for the rest of the world to start taking even more notice of the amazing textiles and fashion designers based here in Africa.
