You've been wrapped in anecdotes of love and fabric, now let's pinpoint the origins of these threads that connect us. Explore the continent, find your fabric, and let’s continue this love ting together.

Baoulé

If you know the father and grandfather, don't worry about the son. Sometimes African Love just be like that (for better or for worse). Also, there’s a reason why Tiwa titled it ‘Somebody’s Son’, it can get deep if you think about it.

Kuba

“Valentine's Day the worst day, got too many to please” (Future, 2022). There is a beauty in a masterpiece of complexity, an intricate dance between multiple partners. Kuba cloth, hails from a tradition of open hearts and romantic entanglements as complex as the patterns on the cloth itself.

Kente

Love wrapped around the shoulders of graduates worldwide, whispering sweet nothings of pride and expectation. Once for Kings and Queens, always for kings and queens.

Faso Dan Fani

“Wearing Faso dan fani is an economic, cultural and political act of defiance of imperialism.” (Thomas Sankara) He who so loved his people, he gave his life. The tragedy is not that it is not broken, the tragedy is that it is not mended again.

Seanamarena

Love is not heat – it’s warmth. It’s family blankets over everything. A lesson taught through the many rites of passage through which the Seanamarena accompanies Basotho.

Bògòlanfini

It’s about connection — to the earth, to the spirits (nyama) and to each other – that Chakra Love.

A union that comes together (at least once a year) to explore how we, as Africans, love.
