@anyangompinga is a cultural pioneer who promotes intersectionality as a circular fashion guiding philosophy.

Her ethereal creations have been featured in cities such as Tokyo, Paris, New York, London, Milan, Bangkok, and Porto, and she has garnered numerous awards for them. Anyango is a forward-thinking designer who is experimenting with new technologies to develop biodegradable textiles.

The finest structured box bag from @matsidiso_sa with outstanding design and very elegant elegance. Go from a clutch type scrunchie to an acrylic quirky handle with adjustable handles.

Our Editorial Pick for the African Icon Editorial (link in bio)

@_shepherd_store has embarked on a mission to show their love for our earth by creating bedding that is both environmentally friendly and luxurious. The linen is constructed from biodegradable materials, so you can honestly rest easy knowing you’re helping the environment.

So what is it?
100% heavenly pure linen bedding.

What does it do?
Shepherd will entice you into a peaceful meadow. A peaceful haven with soft meadows of green grass, azure skies filled with birds, and soothing breezes that will lull you to sleep.

Why we love it...
Shepherd is a 100 percent pure linen collection made from the finest flax. It’s enzyme-washed to give it a wonderful, comfortable feel the instant it meets your skin, and the longer you sleep in it, the softer it gets. It’s light and airy in the summer, but cozy in the winter. .

Visit them at www.shepherd-store.com
