Welcome to Zapenda

Zapenda plants seeds of economic change in Congo through ethically made African-inpired clothing. Our designs are inspired by the African Diaspora and made-to-order by expert tailors in our atelier in Bukavu. When you wear Zapenda, you feel regal, powerful, and connected.

Introducing the Versatility Collection

The Versatility collection is a buildable, functional, and versatile collection of pieces that can be worn in an endless number of ways. We've spent months sketching, prototyping, sourcing, and stress testing our styles just to bring you the very best our talented Bukavu Atelier has to offer. And with that, we're happy to introduce you to the first official drop of the collection.

- With Love, Team Zapenda

Why I started Zapenda

Zapenda was born out of my journey as a Congolese refugee and my desire to reconnect with the Motherland. What began as a passion project quickly turned into an empowering path to authenticity and social good for my community.
