Submit Your Design: We Make It in African Prints

Have a clothing idea, a sketch, or a photo of a garment you love? Send it to Kipfashion, and we will make it in African prints for your boutique, online store, event, or brand. Our design team reviews your idea, sends you fabric swatches and a custom quote, and our artisans in Benin and Nigeria handcraft the finished pieces.

What you can send us

  • A photo of a garment, from a friend, a family member, or a catalog
  • A sketch or a digital design
  • An inspirational image with your notes on fabric, color, and fit

Retail and wholesale customers are both welcome.
