A Brand Woven from Africa
ONEOFEACH crafts beautifully made pieces designed in Africa for the world. The brand was founded and is led by a mother and daughter design duo, Tamburai and Pauline Chirume, and has grown into an award-winning exporter of African craft and creativity over the past 11 years.
Their work celebrates traditional fabrics and leather off-cuts, transformed into embellished handbags and accessories that read as wearable art. Each piece features careful beadwork and embroidery that makes every item unique.
The brand aims to change perceptions about the quality of fashion and home decor made in Africa by producing well-made, meaningful and beautiful products that represent the continent holistically. ONEOFEACH is driven by a love for Africa and a desire to uplift its creative potential.
Alongside the label, they founded The African Academy of Fashion, an accredited training academy offering practical fashion and craft skills. To date they have trained over 100 youth and achieved an 80% placement rate into sustainable fashion jobs.
Style with a Social Impact
ONEOFEACH blends traditional ethnic prints with modern design, creating limited edition pieces that tell a story. The artisans who make these products are graduates of The African Academy of Fashion, which provides a hands on learning environment and real pathways to employment.
Sustainability and social impact are central to their work. The brand aligns with Sustainable Development Goals including quality education, gender equality and decent work. They prioritise nurturing new talent and building a stronger creative community across Southern Africa.
100 % of our staff force are young women who have completed our training programme at The African Academy of Fashion. We believe in nurturing new talent and building a stronger creative community.
