Handmade | Fair Trade

Formerly known as Swahili Imports, AFRICAN MODERN exists to increase global investment in African craftsmanship. We are a women-owned business, presenting a perspective of modern Africa through the lens of handcrafted home decor and gifts. We serve skilled artisans by providing pathways to income, celebrating makers across Africa as they design their own futures.

To simplify sourcing for retail stores and catalogs, we offer a low wholesale minimum order of $100.

We ship from Oregon, in the beautiful Pacific Northwest region of the United States.
