Handmade | Fair Trade

AFRICAN MODERN, formerly Swahili Imports, is a women-owned business dedicated to increasing global investment in African craftsmanship. We showcase modern Africa through handcrafted home decor and gifts, empowering artisans across the continent to design their own futures. With a low wholesale minimum order of $100, we simplify sourcing for retail stores and catalogs. We ship from Oregon in the Pacific Northwest, USA.

We're very excited to be opening a shared showroom at Americasmart in Atlanta with three other fantastic brands–Matr Boomie, dZi Handmade and Likha. We'll host the grand opening of our Artisan Collective showroom during Atlanta Market, January 14-20, 2025. We hope you can join us!
