The only way I could love this brocade Guatemalan pillow more is if it were a top.
Meanwhile, I’m totally obsessed with this pump—but am not entirely sure I wouldn’t prefer in pillow form.
This very limited edition African shirt is a good way to get a classic Marni look without paying crazyass Marni prices.
Similarly: this Mexican top is perfectly graphic and chic, and costs just a whole, whole lot less than what certain Frenchy designers are charging for extremely similar pieces this season.
I just shocked myself by liking those pumps! I generally hate all pumps. My mind … boggled.
I like those pumps, too!
All great pics. Me thinks someone is starting to prepare for summer…
The pump is cute! I just wish that it and the matching clutch didn’t look so cheap on closer examination
Also, LOVE the African shirt.
LOVE the black and white shirt. Would be much easier to style the the typical multi-colored ones.
Mexican white with black top is ever so much less expensive in Texas. But then you’d have to come to Texas.
I love this site and I would love it even more if you said Kenyan shirt rather than “African” shirt. The material in the shirt is a khanga and I was tickled to see the Marni reference! As an East African expatriate to this country, it gets frustrating to see our 50+ country continent referred to more often than not as a country. And there is such huge diversity, regional and country in our clothing and materials. “African” just does not do it justice. Voices like yours are influential so I hope you will hear my plea =)
Cynthia,
Yes we agree with what your saying but we keept the name ” THE AFRICAN SHRT COMPANY” because eventually we would love to expand the collection of shirts and use different fabrics from country’s in africa… especially the likes of Ghana’s waxed prints or the more intricate detailed patterns of north african countries.
Thanks for your thoughts and support.
Thanks for the positive response! I’l be keeping an eye on your company as you expand. Do also check out the little known in the West shweshwe material used in Southern Africa (Lesotho, Botswana and South Africa, mostly). Such a fun material with so much potential.
That pump looks even better in black. Beautiful. Also, I will be in Austin, TX in a month or two and I think I might pick up a couple of those pretty blouses.
