In early June, I posted about prom dresses on Etsy. I found some really lovely (and the usual number of un-lovely) gowns, but the dress by Styles Afrik really stuck with me. I went back to further explore the shop, and what I found was so magnificent, I just had to share.

Yes, their fashion sense is incredible and their tailoring looks flawless, but it’s their original Kente-influenced fabrics that put them head and shoulders above the rest. And make no mistake: as connected as they are to traditional African design, the company is very much on the cutting edge of modern manufacturing methods and ethically-responsible business practices.

“Our technology powered, fashion-to-order, anti wastage business model is unique to us. We‘re proud to be the only company globally making bespoke African Influenced designs in less than 4 weeks.”

You can purchase Styles Afrik’s gorgeous custom-tailored clothing and original fabrics on their website and in their Etsy shop, and you can follow the label on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest.
