✨ Melapte prend quelques jours de pause… ✨ Avant de refermer les portes de la boutique @melapte pour notre pause estivale, nous souhaitions simplement vous dire merci. Merci à nos clients, à nos amis, à nos partenaires et à tous ceux qui ont franchi les portes de Melapte au cours de ce premier semestre. Chacune de vos visites, chacun de vos encouragements, chacune de vos acquisitions contribue à faire vivre les savoir-faire des artisans que nous avons à cœur de valoriser. Ces quelques photos racontent bien plus que des rencontres : elles témoignent des liens qui se créent autour de l'art, de l'artisanat, des cultures et des histoires que chacun porte en lui 🌿 La boutique Melapte sera fermée du 1er au 18 août inclus. Nous reviendrons avec beaucoup de joie à partir du mardi 19 août, impatients de vous retrouver pour une nouvelle saison riche en découvertes, en créations et en beaux moments de partage. Nous vous souhaitons un très bel été et vous remercions, du fond du cœur, de faire partie de cette belle aventure. À très bientôt chez Melapte ! 🤎 #Melapte #Merci #PauseEstivale #Artisanat #ArtisanatAfricain Patrimoine SavoirFaire Paris Culture Rencontres

Get to know our makers! This month we’ll be introducing you to this year’s #londonmademe creative cohort who you’ll be able to meet throughout our trading period and see them at work and chat to them about their pieces. You’ll also be able to join them for workshops and activities and hear the stories behind their work👇🏾 Introducing @tandi.fashion, one of our talented brands based in our #LondonMadeMe shop in @batterseapwrstn 🎉 Thandi Ojeer, is the founder of Tandi Fashion, and based in the Archway zone. Taking inspiration from her East African heritage, she works with the iconic kanga fabric known for its bold patterns and Swahili proverbs. With a mission to allow individuals to wear their emotions, Tandi Fashion’s unique, limited-edition pieces celebrate personal expression while preserving cultural history. As the daughter of an East African mother, Thandi cherishes the Kanga’s cultural significance, blending her roots with her modern London life. Her non-traditional design approach, where art and form were her learning tools — she rejects the typical fashion cycle. Instead, she focuses on creating timeless, sustainable garments. Thandi’s journey includes self-teaching through pattern-cutting tutorials, followed by formal training at the Centre for Fashion Enterprise, Making for Change at the University of the Arts London, and the London College of Fashion. Her passion for elevating East African culture has led to her designs being showcased at prestigious platforms like the Victoria and Albert Museum as part of the Africa Fashion Exhibition - a monumental achievement for the brand. Another defining moment came when actress Thandiwe Newton wore a Tandi Fashion design, celebrating the brand’s vibrant colours and messages woven into the fabric. In addition to her work in fashion, Thandi continues to support non-profits focused on HIV prevention and education, further showcasing her dedication to impactful and meaningful work.

What a week last week was! One massive highlight was @rankinarchive coming in to talk to us about his creative journey.. The more he talked the more I realised he is the real deal. You know when you keep thinking as someone is talking"yes!"... "Yes!!" "I think that too"!! Not to gush or anything. 🤭 He doesn't time with each of us 12 makers despite feeling under the weather, and took interest in our work. I felt that moment arise and asked "can I type your eye" (a few of you have experienced this!) and he accepted in a heartbeat. I knew it would be a good'un. So we did the eye, here it is. And not Rankin but one of his crew @charliecummings took this bloody brilliant portrait of moi! I can't believe how they managed to reach in your soul.. But with @yussico , @onepiecedj @preciousscarsstudio @yibri_official @elvirasazesh @scene_in_london I could genuinely see that that's what they manage to do! I can't praise Rankin and his team highly enough . @abbyrothwell (please let me know other crew members so I can mention them!) Thank you! @londonmademeofficial for lining this up for us and to my cohort of makers who are always so supportive of one another. Can't wait to get in and type more of your eyes tomorrow . I'm in 11- 5 by the way for any mini commissions or to discuss my work in any way with you or to sell to you, The London Made Me Retail Development programme is brought to you by the Mayor of London as part of his flagship Creative Enterprise Zone programme. The project is delivered in partnership with Crafty Fox Market and Lone Design Club, with support from Battersea Power Station, Alice Mayor, Grow London Local and Visit London. The Creative Enterprise Zone programme is one of the Mayor of London’s flagship cultural programmes dedicated to ensuring artists and creatives – particularly from under-represented backgrounds – are supported to put down roots in their local area to help reverse the trend of being priced out of the city - certainly a sore subject for me and my family at the moment.
