Ofumbi

Getting staple pieces to style around is what Ofumbi is focused on. the brand by Rebecca Nanjego has skirts, pants and shirts that are made with slow consumption and rewearing in mind. unlike many others on this list that have many designs to pick from, Ofumbi takes a slower, more aligned approach to their wearers, something that has led to an easily recognizable footprint. The price point is still premier, but definitely not something you wear once and move on from.
