KUMI embodies a passion for authentic African fabrics, enhanced by unique designs that tell the story of nomadic peoples.
It was during a trip to Mali that Amina Dubrecq El Oumrany, creator of KUMI, reconnected with her roots and decided to create a bridge between tradition and modernity. She collaborates with local artisans, promoting their know-how while adopting eco-responsible practices.
With each piece, KUMI tells a story of creativity and responsibility, a tribute to an African textile heritage revisited for a contemporary world, while respecting the environment and local communities.
