Chips L'Anatomic Soffice women's slippers (style #0702), in green — a hugely popular casual open-toe slide. The single wide strap has an adjustable faux buckle, and the textured footbed is moulded with dotted ventilation points and raised patterns that give anatomic arch support underfoot. The upper is synthetic (PU) leather and the anti-skid patterned PVC outsole grips wet floors, so they suit the house, the yard, the salon and the market. Lightweight and easy to rinse clean. Made in India.
The agaseke is Rwanda's iconic lidded "peace basket", handwoven in a tight coil from sisal and sweetgrass and finished with a conical lid. Traditionally given at weddings and to welcome guests as a symbol of unity and generosity, it also works beautifully as decor or for storing small items. Each basket is made by hand, so the pattern, colours and exact size vary slightly. Keep away from prolonged damp; dust with a soft brush.

Women's flat slide sandals from the Layila range, in red. The open-toe, backless slip-on design makes them easy to step in and out of, and the wide criss-cross straps are made of croc-embossed (croc-effect) faux leather. Each slide is finished with a central interlocking polished gold-tone ring buckle set with small rhinestones. A dressy-casual everyday shoe to wear with jeans, dresses or loungewear. All sizes are available — leave your size in the order notes or contact the store.
Fufu flour for making the classic West and Central African swallow at home, without the pounding. Pour into hot water and stir continuously, then knead over low heat for a few minutes to a smooth, stretchy dough. Serve hot in balls alongside egusi, okra, ogbono, groundnut or pepper soup, or with vegetable and meat stews. A pantry essential for anyone who grew up on fufu, eba or pounded yam; naturally gluten-free. See pack for net weight and exact preparation ratio.
Pate Jaune yellow maize flour in a wholesale 50 lb sack (umufuka). Milled from yellow corn, which carries more natural colour and beta-carotene than white maize, it cooks into a warm-toned ugali, posho, nsima or bugali to serve with greens, beans, meat and fish stews, and also makes a rich yellow maize porridge for breakfast. Add to boiling water and stir firmly until thick and smooth, then let it steam a few minutes. Naturally gluten-free. Bulk size for large families, caterers and resellers; store the sack sealed in a cool, dry place away from moisture and pests.
Igisura is the Kinyarwanda name for stinging nettle (Urtica dioica), a hardy wild green that grows in damp soil. Sold here dried, it is a nutrient-dense leaf — rich in vitamins A, C and K and folic acid, and high in iron, magnesium, calcium and potassium. Once dried or cooked it no longer stings. Simmer it like spinach or isombe with onion and a little oil as a side dish, add it to soups and stews, or steep a spoonful in hot water for several minutes as a herbal nettle tea. Rinse before use; store the dried leaf sealed in a cool, dry place.

The Sound of Nature II reflects a quiet, spiritual connection rooted in love, care, and presence. Inspired by the spirit of Alkebulan, it portrays a mother as a symbol of divine nurture—protective, resilient, and deeply connected to her child. Her embrace becomes a silent prayer, expressing devotion beyond words. The surrounding land is integral, echoing Rwandan beliefs that God (Imana) is found in everyday life—in motherhood, relationships, and shared human experiences. This piece celebrates the sacredness of care, the strength of bonds, and spirituality grounded in people and place. Size: 100 × 80 cm Medium: Acrylic on canvas Artist: Romeo Niyigena
"The Abandoned:" explores a love that defies societal expectations. It portrays a painter and a violinist who choose each other despite disapproval from her wealthy family, reflecting a common reality where art is undervalued in traditional marriage choices. Set in an abandoned house, the scene symbolizes their isolation, but also their unity and resilience. The woman’s decision to stand by her partner highlights courage, independence, and devotion in the face of judgment. This piece speaks to love, sacrifice, and the strength to follow passion over prestige. Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 200 × 160 cm Artist: Elisa Niyogisubizo
