At LANGI we aim to connect African tailoring craftsmanship and its unique, colourful fabrics with contemporary designs. LANGI is a social enterprise set up by Marlijn Berendsen and Nathalie Dijkman, two dutch friends who have always had a love for fashion. Nathalie currently lives in Kampala and has befriended many East Africans.
Our items are currently on sale on our website as sample sizes we have in stock in The Netherlands. We often add new fabrics to our store, so you are also able to choose your favorite fabric, design, and send us your measurements and your item will be made to order from Uganda. So that you can colour your own identity.
During the COVID19 outbreak, we decided to use all the scraps we have to create colourful face masks - a great way to protect yourself and look unique, while supporting Uganda's informal economy during this crisis. We currently ship these masks all across Europe.
While we work hard to source new fabrics together with our tailors in Uganda, you are very welcome to enquire after possibilities or to place a pre-order for your own measurements. Simply email us at langiamsterdam@gmail.com.
