SJ /Fashion Designer at Dashiki Shop
I started selling on Africa Blooms around December 2016. My team and I have been able to grow our sales and reach customers around the world with our handmade mens and boys dashiki from Ghana. Over these years, I have come to share and believe in the Africa Blooms vision for empowering over 100,000 artisans across Africa in the next 10 years and I am very delighted one of the beneficiaries of this vision.

I came across Africa Blooms through a friend and I opened my shop in 2018. I have been able to steadily grow my customer base and revenue. I hope to continue to sell with Africa Blooms and better serve my customers. I love designing outfits for women, mens & children, most especially for special occasions like weddings & birthdays. I have had a good experience selling with Africa Blooms and I look forward to what the future holds.
