For Anne Marie, Afrilege provided her “a second chance”. She used to be a high school teacher and sew in her spare time. After retiring from teaching, she went back to her first passion: creating and sewing. “I like to see the finished product, and watching people wearing my creation makes me happy, give me a feeling of pride and fulfilment. Each one of my creation is like my baby. I wish to convey to each person acquiring Afrilege products the sense of satisfaction and wellbeing. I hope Afrilege will become a crossroads of discoveries for African product lovers and those fired up by quality handmade products. ”
