Ecoafriq's design inspiration for fashion comes from nature. It' the environment that dictates which materials are available.
We produce vintage, timeless and consciously made backpacks and bags suited for men and women. We use organic and recycled materials. Our production methods focus on achieving quality instead of quantity. We make fashion to last you for years. Our design is Slow fashion. We use what’s available to make our bags and accessories and avoid harmful chemicals in our production process.
Slow fashion is purposeful, intentional and sustainable. Doesn't view products as disposable.
Raffia palm and sugarcane are materials we use for our summer/spring bags and accessories. These materials are highly favoured by artisans and have been used for centuries in African cultures for textile weaving and to express the Arts. African masks were made of raffia, tree bark, decorated with shells, beads and feathers, and were traditionally offered as gifts and used to celebrate harvests, weddings and royalty.
In our time, raffia palm is important in communities where it grows as it provides an income for local communities. The harvesting and packing is done manually by locals with the utmost respect for the environment and is controlled by strict government laws.
Raffia Palm is a biodegradable, strong and sustainable material that’s been in use for centuries and still relevant.
Bohemian style
Bohemian style (Boho chic) has its roots in 18th centrury France. The term Bohemian goes back to the French word bohème which translates to unconventional.
For ecoafriq, Bohemian style means honouring the craftsmanship, sustainability and enjoying the outdoors.
The style does not comply to society rules and is influenced by art, music and literature. Boho chic it’s an alternative fashion with a specific ideology that differs from tradition and mainstream trends. Ecoafriq brings you a change in style by designing our spring/ summer bags collection, with an inspiration from the sixties and seventies, and mixing the vintage inspiration with twenty first century trends.
Bohemian style is more than a fashion trend, It’s a culture in its own right, and represent a lifestyle that’s laid back, unconventional and highly expressive.
