ABOUT AFROART

Afroart was established in Stockholm in 1967, and has long been a favourite with anyone who has a passion for ethnic crafts.

Owned by six textile designers, Afroart collaborates with local artisans to highlight the craftsmanship of the developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. A great deal of Afroart's catalogue is developed by Afroart Studio, Afroart's own design team. The idea is to use design as a tool, to develop and market traditional crafts and thereby help to create jobs in the regions where the craft is currently the main source of income. This give unique traditions of crafts a possibility to survive and Afroart's clients get access to the world's craftsmanship.

Afroart imports directly from artisans or through Fair Trade organisations - fair trade is a matter of course, for this lovely company.
