About me / About business or organisation:

Amanda is passionate about all aspects of personal development and personal evolution. Her belief in continually challenging herself led her to undertake a Psychology BSc Degree along with studying Counselling. Amanda loves living from a Spiritual base, her life experience has taught her that prayer, more recently meditation and lots of laughter help to keep her balanced.

Isossy Children is truly Amanda’s calling. It's a creative calling but far more than that, it's a calling to promote diversity and global clothing for kids. The label incorporates African, Asian and Western cultures to create contemporary clothing that all children can wear. The inspiration is transcending cultural barriers and opening it up for all children. Amanda believes that it is empowering for children to see African prints in their day-to-day expression and in turn it promotes inclusion and understanding.

Amanda designs all the pieces and is part of the complete design process which has been very important as it's a reflection of her creativity and growth. She uses plenty of African Ankara designs from West Africa as well as batiks from Thailand and India.

Career history / Company history:
