Nomad Essence

It is a directory of independent African fashion houses. Every brand here is reviewed before it goes live, so what you browse is the real workshop behind the piece — the founders, the process, the collection.

No. Zaweza introduces you to the house; the piece itself is arranged with the brand directly. Open a conversation from any brand or piece page and you're talking to the people who make it.

The Rewards tab gives you one scratch card a week. Every card wins — it lands on a brand that has opted into the programme, and you get a code for a percentage off anything in their collection. Show the code to the brand in your conversation.

Fourteen days from the moment you scratch it. Codes are single-use and tied to your account, so they can't be passed on.
