Adire fashion
We 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.

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
