Our story
​

With parents from Sao Tome and Principe and raised in Europe, Filipe has an understanding of both worlds.
He knows the gap that exists when it comes to educational and professional opportunity.
To take action he decides to create the brand 'African' aiming to bring access to opportunity through technology development.
Also to give opportunity to artists and creators that would like to have their art on the fashion industry and at the same time be involved in something bigger than the individual.
All profits go to helping the technological development in some African countries.
