Roots and Inspiration: The Journey of the Founders of LWAZI
Share
LWAZI transcends fashion boundaries. More than a brand, it is a project deeply rooted in the family experience of Antonio Rosa and Bessie Rosa, founders of the company. Originally from South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, they decided to turn their passion into reality by creating a brand that celebrates authentic African standards.
The Heritage Challenge and LWAZI’s Journey
In 2024, after countless failed attempts to find custom clothing that reflected their heritage, Antonio and Bessie took on the challenge and launched LWAZI. The beginning was not easy. Like every startup, they faced significant obstacles: from the search for suppliers aligned with their vision of sustainability and quality to the meticulous development of each item of clothing.
Beyond Fashion: An Authentic Narrative
Inspired by brands that have made their mark in the fashion industry, LWAZI is not limited to creating clothes. Each piece is carefully designed, from the fabric selection to the unique patterns that capture the vibrant essence of Africa. Close collaboration with local artisans ensures that each item not only meets aesthetic standards but also supports local communities.
