Ok then, we’ve committed to it! ‘We’ is me, Ginny Till and my partner Olu Obikoya.
We are setting up our business, Afrique Fabrique, to offer our handmade soft furnishings to the world outside of friends and family!
As well as offering a range of products in our shop, our aim is to give our customers the opportunity to design their own cushions. Using one of our design templates, customers will be able to select from a range of traditional African fabrics and base fabrics to create wonderful designs – that is the plan!

We have secured our domain name and now the work begins….
- How to build the on line product designer (over to you Olu!)
- Sourcing new and vintage fabrics from Nigeria and Ghana
- Setting up the work studio
- Designing a range of cushions and templates
- Fine-tuning production processes
The list goes on and on!!
