Chinero Nnamani

What started out as a few simple textile sketches in a worn-out moleskine notebook, Chinero Nnamani has quickly evolved into a wildly successful full-blown fashion brand. Founded by namesake owner, Chinero Nnamani is the African-inspired colorful clothing line that is sure to be your new favorite e-com destination for affordable and funky finds.

           

Browse the seemingly endless webpages of ornately-intricate patterns and it should come as no surprise that founder and designer Chinero Nnamani was a former graphic artist. The bold, richly-dyed African textiles are the brand’s claim to fame, and can be found in the form of headwraps, handbags, and everything in between. The best part of all is that almost everything on the site is under $100. A full-length printed gown for less than the price of a fancy meal and overpriced glass of wine? Add to cart.

Drawing from Nigerian folk art influences, traditional African ways of life, and even hip hop culture, Chinero Nnamani somehow perfects a timely yet timeless aesthetic.  Their silhouettes range from classic cuts that are sure to turn heads at the office to mini tennis cuts sure to be a hit at the country club. Rainbow head-wraps, reversible crop-top and skirt sets, and silk pillowcases. The list of eye-catching statement pieces goes on.

With each item designed to be a statement on its own, yet complimentary enough to blend with staples you already have, it’s unlikely you’ll be disappointed with any purchase from Chinero Nnamani. Treat yourself to a new summer frock or two, support an independent black-owned business, and as Chinero Nnamani says, “go bold or go home.”
