Out of Africa


APRIL 4TH, 2011

Out of Africa

We love a brand that manufactures locally, but how about a brand that benefits its local economy and encourages trade in Kenya as well?

Suno is just that. Inspired by ten years of collecting African textiles, two New York City based designers decided to launch a collection of beautiful separates, which is sampled locally in the Garment District, but produced ethically in Kenya.

The spring collection features citrus colour palettes and tropical prints on easy, feminine shapes. Tipped to be one of the hottest new fashion brands, we’d suggest you get in there fast. —ASI
