About Roots and Rooms
Roots and Rooms was born from a love of culture, creativity, and connection. Our name reflects our vision: “Roots” honours the rich African heritage and traditions that inspire every piece we make, while “Rooms” represents the homes and spaces where our creations come to life.
We believe that clothing and home décor are more than just fashion or decoration — they are stories, memories, and expressions of identity. Every handmade garment and piece of décor carries a part of our cultural journey, blending timeless African artistry with modern style.
What makes our work special is the meaning woven into every stitch and design. We celebrate bold patterns, vibrant colours, and textures that speak of resilience, joy, and community. Each item is thoughtfully crafted to not only beautify your wardrobe or living space but also to bring you closer to a story of heritage and authenticity.
At Roots and Rooms, we are passionate about creating pieces that inspire pride and belonging. Whether you’re wearing one of our African-inspired outfits or decorating your home with our handmade designs, you’re embracing a legacy of artistry that transcends borders and connects us all.
This is more than clothing and décor — it’s culture, it’s storytelling, it’s Roots and Rooms.
Our core values
At Roots and Rooms, our work is guided by values that honour culture, creativity, and community:

Craftsmanship & Quality: Handmade means heart-made. We take pride in the time, skill, and care invested in every item, ensuring our customers receive pieces that are both beautiful and lasting.
Sustainability & Responsibility: We believe in mindful making. By producing in small batches, valuing natural textures, and reducing waste, we honour both people and the planet.
