Therefore, it is very unlikely that one

The Urban Afro Concept accessories collection has an Afrocentric feel to it, consisting of
earrings, bangles, necklaces, bracelets, rings and hairbands. Some pieces are dainty and
delicate while others are big, bold and made to make a statement. UAC accessories are
designed for a variety of moods and settings, drawing inspiration from the vibrant art and
cultural dress of Africa's people.
Each piece is unique and lovingly hand-crafted using materials such as wood, glass, plastic,
metal and wax print fabrics, many of which have been reused and/or re-purposed to create
these pieces. The items in the collection are rarely duplicated so it's highly unlikely that one
customer will have the same look as the next.
We also take orders for custom jewellery made according to customer specifications.
Ethnique-Afrika is an innovative designer and manufacturer of high-end, African-
inspired clothing, footwear and accessories for both women and men. The company
was formed in 2009 and has its principal offices in Lusaka, Zambia and Durban, South
Africa. It is currently based in East London, South Africa.
We offer high-end products, and in particular, custom garments that are made to client
specifications. We specialize in the creation of made-to-measure garments using
chitenge and other wax print fabrics, and are committed to dressing our clients in
impeccably tailored fashion that exudes sophistication and elegance.
Our clients and their needs are our principal consideration. Because of this, and only
this, we strive to win our clients' trust and respect by providing them with reliable
service and high-quality goods.
