View all artisansWe bring art into your everyday lifestyle with our drawing and painting. Our work is expressed in bags (such as casual tote and corporate bags. Our store is a subtle reminder of the NIgerian art's participation in the public space and everyday life beyond the wall of interior spaces. We believe the story of a fine artist shouldn't just sit only a wall of a house or museum alone. It can be given another value and become part of the daily life of every one.

A little corner of my world, translated onto canvas. This space is where emotion, everyday moments, and quiet thoughts come to live in colour and texture. Nothing here is too perfect or too serious, just honest pieces you can feel, connect with, and maybe even see a bit of yourself in. Come in, take your time, and find something that speaks to you.
Mlumun was born from a passion for creativity, craftsmanship and the desire to create pieces that stand out effortlessly. What started as a simple love for beadwork has evolved into a growing brand dedicated to designing handcrafted beaded bags that blend elegance, culture and individuality. Every Mlumun piece is carefully made by hand, bead by bead, reflecting patience, artistry and attention to detail. The brand represents more than just accessories—it is a celebration of femininity.

Our Story
Sokofa was born from a simple dream — to bring the richness of Africa's creativity and craftsmanship to the world through honest, beautiful African imports.
The idea first took root with Tope Abuloye, an entrepreneur driven by a deep love for business and African culture. His first venture, BuyAvrika, spotlighted African art and revealed the incredible talent across the continent — and the challenges many creators faced in accessing global markets.
When life took Tope to Edinburgh for further studies, his vision sharpened. Distance gave him a fresh appreciation for the textures, colours, and soul of Africa.
"Sokofa became that bridge — a way to shop African imports directly from local creators, and to celebrate the stories, spirit, and skill woven into every product."— Tope Abuloye, Founder
