It is the back-to-school time of the year and thanks to Muzungu Sisters’ handpicked treasures from around the globe, stylish moms can now buy fair-trade ethnic kids apparel made by artisans that have held onto their textile traditions for centuries.
The e-commerce platform curates carefully selected one-of-a kind items—bags, shoes, jewelry, and accessories—forwomen, men, and kids, all sourced from rural locations in South America, Africa, or India.
Browse through the kids section on the Muzungu Sisters website and choose from traditional Indian Kurta shirts in an array of bold colors or a linen Moroccan baby djellaba in pale blue or pretty pink.
Since launching their concept in 2009, the two friends, Brazilian-Colombian, Tatiana Santo Domingo, and Iranian-Cypriot, Dana Alikhani, have been circling the world to bring far-flung craftsmen’s work directly to our wardrobes. They focus on items that have a story—unusual articles with bright colors and textures that make you feel as if you’ve been transported elsewhere.
The only problem is, while shopping for the young ones, how to resist the urge to buy a Berber coin necklace or an African tote bag for yourself?
