After working in the African design sector for over 20 years, founder Maryse Mbonyumutwa set out to create an international fashion company with roots in the region. This is where Asanti’s story begins.
A company that sells classic items made with integrity. A company with a mission to lead the fashion revolution, empower African designers, artists and artisans, and improve the brand’s employees and their families through the Pink Ubuntu social investment program.
In this uncharted territory, the first step was to establish a manufacturing infrastructure. Currently, about 4,000 employees, mostly women, work for his Pink Mango and its partner Her C&D Products in Rwanda.
In the second step, we assembled a dream team of African designers with the help of a global group of luxury brand and supply experts. By rallying in the spirit of Ubuntu, they created his Asantii. This is a great fashion label representing Africa to the world.
