I'm the founder of Sapellé, an online boutique retailing fashion and accessories from ethical design labels and makers based in or influenced by Africa.
Sapellé offers a range of original pieces with a touch of the exotic, whether it's garments with subtle hints of wax print or bold statement jewellery
Career history / Company history:
Sapellé was launched in 2012 to meet a need:
On the supply side, the need for a platform for ethical African designers & producers to sell to an international market.
On the demand side: the need for a high quality multi-brand retailer bringing original, stylish contemporary African-influenced fashion and accessories to their doorstep.
Its a while since I was on this site and I think its time to upgrade my profile information as many things have happened over the last year or so.
I think a retail point for African and African-inspired designers is a first-class idea. Now we need to up our game. With any luck Indaba 2013 in Durban will see the launch of something really special.
