Makers Market Africa

We keep hearing this question:
“Why is African fashion so expensive?”

But what if we’re asking the wrong question?

It’s not just about pricing.
It’s about production systems, supply chains, and access to markets.

When systems are missing, price carries the burden.

I came across a question that keeps showing up:

Why is African fashion so expensive?

But the more I sit with it, the more I realise—

It’s not a pricing problem.

It’s a systems problem.

What we’re seeing in the final price is everything happening behind the scenes:
fragmented supply chains,
limited infrastructure,
and missing trade pathways.

In many ways, designers are absorbing the cost of what doesn’t yet exist.

This piece is me thinking through that.

I didn’t always have the language for what I do.

Now I do.

I work at the intersection of culture and trade — building pathways that connect creatives to markets.

I’ve started writing to explore this more deeply.

If you’re interested in how African creativity moves from maker to market, this is for you.
