I am Kondwani and i’m from Zambia, Malawi, Cameroon, France and now live in the UK. 

Kondwani’s Collection which means “happiness” in Chichewa, was created few months ago after going back and forth to East Africa. I kept on receiving compliments on the jewelry i was bringing back to Europe so i decided to see if African Accessories as “Limited Edition” will actually be a market and it was. I was also happy with the idea that on a long term, i will work with East African craftsmen and share at the same time a bit of my African culture in and out of the Continent. Something i was always looking forward to doing. Something that i’m actually able to do now. And that is how the Kondwani’s Collection story began… Please, Enjoy your visit.</description><title>Kondwani's Collection</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @kondwaniscollection)</generator><link>http://kondwaniscollection.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>It’s always good to start the year with some very good...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly3ijcyaTG1r1fmn3o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s always good to start the year with some very good news to share and  today i would like to let you know &lt;a href="http://kondwanicollection.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kondwani’s Collection&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; will be in  Paris this coming Saturday January 21st at &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/SoSo-Ethik-Concept-Store/132120993527793" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So&amp;So Ethik Concept Store&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.

This is where it all began. A few years ago while browsing inside the market, i got a big crush on some beautiful Jewelry. They were different the ones i know in West Africa and other african countries i visited. I really loved them. And as far as i can remember, they never ever left me again after this trip and until i created…&lt;/p&gt;
