From Malawi to London, MAFRIKA is an exciting new fashion brand, inspired by vibrant African textile patterns and prints.
Sadia who is the founder of Mafrica launched the brand after spending time in Malawi working for an ethical fashion charity in Lilongwe.
She has also worked in the UK fashion industry, as a designer, pattern cutter and garment technologist since graduating in 2005.
Mafrika designs offer high quality, exclusive products that are thematically sourced and produced in Malawi. They aim to create beautifully cut garments that are wearable, versatile and enhance the dynamic colours and patterns used in African prints. All their fabrics are hand-picked in local markets, working closely with a co-operative of female traders, in order to support the industry and the slowly decreasing demand for original African textiles.
We loved her designs as they’re wearable and hit all the right notes. The models strut their stuff on the runway wearing African print culottes with matching high neck crop top, kitenge shirt with cropped kitenge trousers/pants, ankara shift mini dresses for a 1960s look, ‘kitenge’ loose wide leg trousers with matching crop top, kitenge/ankara long coat, high waist midi length skirt, Africa print kaftan top with leggings and kitenge shirt dress.
