Hi All,

Thank you for visiting us today.

Project Sierra Leone is the brainchild of Sierra Leonean born Margaret Kadi

The whole ethos of Project Sierra Leone is that everything we sell is handmade by talented Sierra Leoneans.  Our aim is to work with Sierra Leonean Artisans that will bring you cutting edge collections and work on private orders just for you.

Here you will find a collection of merchandise that has been put together with the fashion forward, unique woman in mind.

Margaret had lived away from Sierra Leone for 17 years and recently went back for a holiday.  She was so inspired by the wonderful craftspeople her country has to offer.  She met with a few artisan women and watched them make the most amazing beaded products like placemats and clutch bags.  After that, she then decided to get them to make a selection of accessories in simple designs that could hopefully be presented to a wider market.  Sierra Leone is one of the poorest countries in the world so there is little demand for these products.  The only time they sell their wares is when an influx of tourist arrive in the ports which is not very often.

We work with predominantly women and all of them are paid a fair wage.  By this we mean they are paid the prices that they set for each product. They are also paid 50% deposit for all orders that are placed in advance of production.

All the products we use are locally sourced.

Our website is currently being developed so we will update you on how things are progressing in the coming weeks.

I love fashion but I don't follow trends.  I think it is very important to have your own style.  You can never go wrong with Classic pieces so make sure you have the basic staples that every woman needs in their wardrobe.  This could be a well tailored white shirt, Khaki pants or a fabulous LBD (Little black dress).  Armed with these you can then accessorise with the best ARM CANDY around! 

All the above bags are handmade beaded clutch bags that are all lined in the finest African wax cotton fabric.  They all have a zip as well for easy access.  Because they are all handmade there might be slight variations in sizes.
