Looking back, one of the several highlights of 2012 for this young player in the fashion industry was being featured on the respected Eco-Age sustainable lifestyle blog, run by Livia Firth, the Queen of the Green Carpet and a huge advocate of ethical fashion. Georgie Wells of the Ethical Fashion Forum took part in the Fru-Gal (wear-sustainable-fashion-for-a-week) Challenge in November, and we were thrilled to see Sapellé products featuring quite prominently during her week. We spotted recycled metal and paper accessories from Kenyan label Embody and Ugandan label Nakate, and Georgie proved what we’ve known all along, that bold print stands up great against an urban backdrop – in the middle of winter (Hello?) with her Modahnik wax print dress. She also wore one of our best sellers, a silk chiffon classic tank top with beautiful collar detailing from Kamondi Couture, both fairly-traded.

Georgie Wells et les Créateurs Africains

Pendant 3 jours du 20 au 22 novembre, Georgie Wells nous a fait rêver . En effet, vous trouverez sur le site eco-age des clins d’oeil aux créateurs africains également référencés chez Sapellé.

La marque Nakate mise en avant ici comme un détail subtil qui se démarque.
