The AFRIEK clothing is made in their own workshop in Kigali. A team of tailors and seamstresses are employed fairly and ethically in this way. Because production takes place in their own atelier, AFRIEK also has full control over working conditions and fair wages.
AFRIEK also collaborates with various production partners. The brand forms solid relationships with their suppliers and strictly monitors that these producers work fairly and ethically, even visiting the producers themselves. In this way, the brand aims to provide a safe and healthy working environment throughout their whole supply chain.
One of these partners is Mantis World. AFRIEK works with them to produce the T‑shirts. The T‑shirts are made in Tanzania and printed by Loenatix, a social workshop in the Netherlands. Part of the proceeds go to organisations fighting racism in the Netherlands.
AFRIEK also works with production partners in Tanzania and Rwanda for the materials of the dresses. The cotton is grown by social organisations in Tanzania and processed by a local producer in Kigali.
