The Designs are inspired by African unity, independence and historical and cultural awareness. The brand aims to scale-up their business, get international reach and venture into e-commerce.

Yonael Marga Nuru is an Ethiopian fashion designer whose brand is rooted in the concept of Afrofuturism.
He has been working in the fashion industry for nearly four years and, as a fashion designer and cultural practitioner, strives to present thought-provoking designs and concepts that draw inspiration from the rich culture and traditions present in Ethiopia, transforming them into something contemporary and futuristic.
