Heritage Photos: #ONOURRADAR—TONGORO: Looking at the current landscape of fashion, no one can deny the strong influences (and painful appropriations) of African culture and artistry. We believe it is no mistake that so many have come to be comfortably embraced by creativity from the Mother of all civilization. And yet now is the time to rethink business models and practices within the fashion industry. From South East Asia and Bangladesh to Africa and Central and South America, too many lives have been lost, all for the sake of cheap, fast fashion made in the most unethical of ways. But the team behind TONGORO decided to create a safe haven for artisans and consumers to form ethical and sustainable processes for fashion production and retail. TONGORO, which means ‘Star’ in Sango, is uniquely positioned to be a guiding light to sustainable, everyday fashion, with the goal of creating constant awareness of the worsening state of development and quality of life in the Central African Republic (CAR). Launching later this Spring, TONGORO will provide access to expertly constructed garments and accessories, 100% Made in Africa. Are you ready to lean in with the Tongoro spirit? We are and can’t wait for the launch. Stay tuned for more features from TONGORO very soon. #tongoro #luxury #apparel #adornments #wardrobestories #africa #sango #sengal #star #craftsmanship #heritage #ecoluxury #sustainable #beauty #style #elegant #whatsyourswoon #thingswelike #tumbld #fb by thesauraipr
