More than a list. a living gallery.
Of The Motherland’s Directory is where Africa’s designers, artisans, and culture come forward to meet the world. It’s the trusted space for global buyers to discover, and for makers to finally be seen.
-
“I love African fashion and culture, but I never know where to find trusted brands.”
“Even when I do, $100+ shipping makes me close the tab.”
“I don’t just want products — I want pieces with story, culture, and meaning.”
That’s why Of The Motherland exists.
Here’s what you’ll get:
A trusted space to discover authentic African designers, artisans and experiences.
Pieces that carry heritage and story — not just fast fashion.
Affordable shipping options so supporting African brands actually feels possible.

“I put everything into my craft, but outside Instagram, it feels like no one really sees me.”

That’s why Of The Motherland exists.
Here’s what you’ll get:
A global stage where your work is celebrated, not lost in the scroll.
Access to buyers who care about heritage and meaning, not just cheap prices.
