They designed the swim wear in Ivory Coast, using the vibrant West African print (Ankara) while promoting Africa's textile industry and then all the cutting and sewing was done in Ethiopia (watch out China!), this makes Bantu a truly African brand. So major cool points go to the duo that bring us Bantu.</span></span></div>Ceehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11059792294790168907noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15242099.post-75089680734598264482009-05-13T07:11:00.000-07:002009-05-19T09:17:25.439-07:00I spy....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhejN0AcO_FDOrxqom-sYZuSc0KuMXmWpT4aZ7a9QFupbqvVDaprZSjCoOBm4vI5YB9l0Y8HkkZxvLucu8o4iA8b4coaJvnVwhIjJ7SwEKqtbz6FDxBUcxrtahgIDktAa4XT7V2/s1600-h/thoughtfulday_melodie7.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 275px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhejN0AcO_FDOrxqom-sYZuSc0KuMXmWpT4aZ7a9QFupbqvVDaprZSjCoOBm4vI5YB9l0Y8HkkZxvLucu8o4iA8b4coaJvnVwhIjJ7SwEKqtbz6FDxBUcxrtahgIDktAa4XT7V2/s400/thoughtfulday_melodie7.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335329224318982450" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">If only we were invited to the wedding that these were dished out...

I won't abandon you completely but posts are gonna be sparse. Most of the locations we go to have no electricity not to mention internet. But they're beautiful just the same (i.e. the above image) and it's gonna be a beautiful film.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" >Exciting factoid for the future: some of our shirts are gonna be featured in this movie!!!! So make sure you look out for it when it comes out! "Relentless," starring Gideon Okeke and the inimitable chanteuse Nneka, directed by our friend, Andy Amadi Okoroafor.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" >Have fun spotting the imekura originals!
