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
