Store offers

Merchants on Long concept store offers elegant fashions with refined accessories produced with an aim for sustainable development and traceability. A big hurrah to the MaXhosa brand by Laduma that explores the Xhosa culture through graphic printed knits, or the Ghanian YEVU label for its reinterpretation of traditional African fabrics.

On the walls, the black-and-white studio shots of the famous Malik Sidibé of Mali or the fantastic portraits in bright colours, with traditional design borders from the Moroccan Hassan Hajjaj, testify to African life through the ages. On top of all these great findings, Hanneli Rupert added her own production: Okapi bags are also on sale in her London shop.
