New Online Marketplace for African and Diaspora-Inspired Fashion Announces New Accessories (1732 hits)
Boutique Africaine, an online platform to buy and sell ethnic, African-inspired clothing, accessories, and home decor items announces new accessories, which include handbags, earrings, kids’ backpacks, shoes, and more. Shoppers will now be able to connect directly with a roster of talented ethnic designers, enabling them to find the unique pieces that they seek.
Boutique Africaine, a platform to buy and sell ethnic, African-inspired clothing, accessories, and home decor items has further diversified its offerings, adding a greater selection of accessories such as shoes, handbags, and even children’s backpacks to its already wide array of original, well-crafted pieces. Like online, handmade marketplace Etsy, Boutique Africaine allows customers to interact directly with designers and craft-makers all over the world, enabling consumers to purchase the products they want while supporting artisans tap into a worldwide market. Franck Hounsokou, the founder of Boutique Africaine, recognized the need for a place where people in North America and around the world could connect with ethnic fashion designers, after his own frustrating search to find unique, well-made ethnic pieces. Hounsokou says, “Our accessories embody the spirit of fashions from Africa and the African diaspora. Our users have a desire to wear and own clothing, accessories, and decor that is distinctive, colorful, and diverse.” While African and diaspora-inspired pieces are representative of the large, culturally rich continent, there has long been a dearth of these products in marketplaces worldwide. While Hounsokou noticed a particular lack of African-inspired pieces in North America, which inspired the creation of Boutique Africaine, much of the world has been deprived of the ability to enjoy them. Hounsokou adds, “Bringing users the accessories, clothing, and decor they desire while helping to support designers is what Boutique Africaine is all about.” With its ever-growing treasure trove of eclectic, African-inspired pieces, Boutique Africaine bridges the gap between designers of stylish ethnic products, and the wider world.
