AN AFRICAN CONCEPT STORE


CONGOLESE WAX PRINTS, ETHIOPIAN SNEAKERS, BOOKS...

"Like many young people who come from the African diaspora, I've integrated the African and European cultural codes that are part of the neighborhood."

-- Judith Apprey

Nofi Store
"First on Black culture"
37 rue Myrha

Entrée to Black Paris
There have been a few wax prints made in Africa, rather than Europe, China and India, but they have been hard to find. This shop is the first to propose production by women of the Republic of Congo, begun in 2020. 

Wax's quality is based on the quality of cotton and the number of layers of color. West African cotton is among the world's best, and the six layers of color are exceptional.
