ASOS: Africa's great material gains
ASOS Africa: The online store’s fairtrade African range will liven up your autumn wardrobe.
ASOS: Blacket coat, £75
Brighten autumn evenings with a blast of colour by ASOS Africa.
This is the collection’s second outing on the site since its launch in February 2010, where it forms part of ASOS’s Green Room, which offers brands that promote people and planet.
ASOS: Biker jacket, £75
ASOS: Two-in-one skater dress, £50
Traditional African fabrics and specially designed Kitenge cloths, a heavier fabric used in winters in Africa, are used to create tulip skirts, wrap dresses, maxi and cheeky skater skirts.
It’s fast becoming one of the prettiest fairtrade ranges around – ASOS Africa
is made with small, impoverished communities in Africa, allowing them to establish long-lasting businesses using local craftsmanship.
It’s a means of income for communities and celebrates traditional skills.
