Kenyan Breaking New Grounds in Fashion in Australia

Naomi Kiarie is one of the Kenyans in the diaspora who are making their presence felt. Naomi, together with a friend, Winnie Wesaala, founded an African-inspired fashion brand, Bangili Jangili, which creates a range of products including bags, earrings, necklaces, bangles, rings and headbands.

Speaking to Manly Daily, an Australian daily, Naomi said, “The range combines traditional African colours, styles and materials to bring some of the African vibe into the Australian culture.” Right now, the new fashion is grabbing a lot of attention something that the two Kenyans did not imagine when they established the venture.

The design work for the master piece usually takes about five days a week with three hours a day. For now the two ladies are upbeat that their work of art will become widely acknowledged around the world.
