At City of Ubuntu, our work is not only about fields and farming. It is also about culture, creativity, and connection. That’s why we bring handmade African products from Cameroon to Austria: to support local artists, finance our association’s social projects, and most importantly, to build bridges between people.
Every pouch, every necklace, every backpack carries a story. And we want you to know who is behind these works of art.
Meet Sophie & Soulé – Couture with Afritude
“We are a couple, united by our passion for sewing. Our specialty is traditional outfits and Afritude accessories. We are members of an artist collective in Yaoundé, at Carrefour MEEC.”
Sophie and Soulé combine tradition with modern elegance. Their creations – from toiletry pouches to tablecloths – carry the vibrant spirit of Cameroonian textiles. For them, sewing is more than a job: it is a way of celebrating their culture, while sharing beauty and craftsmanship with the world.
Sophie & Soulé made our beautiful backpacks – practical and stylish!
Willy Design – Wood, Fabric & African Creativity
“Hello everyone, my name is Tcheugnia Chamberlin, but you can call me Willy Design. I am an artisan and sculptor, specializing in woodwork and unique accessories. My goal is to highlight the richness of African craft and celebrate the beauty of the pagne fabric.”
From handbags and belts to bracelets, scarves, and decorative cushions, Willy’s creations are unique, practical, and full of soul. Each piece is carefully designed to blend tradition with modern use – carrying the message: Made in Africa, with pride.
Willy Design created our best-selling document folders.
