2023
In 2023, we expanded our product range, we strengthened our commitment to ethical craftsmanship by growing our manufacturing partnerships, providing more opportunities for skilled artisans in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
We are committed to collaborating with talented artisans and tailors in the UK and Sierra Leone. By investing in local craftsmanship, we create opportunities, uplift communities, and honour traditional skills.
Our designs fuse contemporary aesthetics with African influences—showcasing vibrant fabrics, modern silhouettes, and architectural details. We craft unique, wearable pieces that empower self-expression with a sleek, modern edge.
We celebrate the beauty of British and West African heritage by blending traditional crafts, Afro-inspired fabrics, and modern design elements. Every piece tells a story—of identity, culture, and creativity—connecting the Diaspora with their roots & all those wishing to join the story.
From sourcing materials to production, we prioritise ethical practices, and thoughtful craftsmanship. We honour the value of handmade work, creating timeless pieces designed to be cherished, not discarded.
BijouCREATES is more than a brand—it’s a celebration! Through collaborations, shared stories, and meaningful content, we foster a community where people connect, express their identity, & their heritage with pride.
