The beginning

The Story of Afrika Mode

Afrika Mode, through its brand YIPI, was born from a personal initiative, driven by a deep passion for craftsmanship and natural materials. Convinced that every accessory can tell a story and bring a touch of authenticity, the adventure began in 2020, in an intimate creative space where beads and wool took shape by hand. Driven by the desire to share this expertise and sensibility, YIPI developed into a brand dedicated to those who seek handmade, unique, and characterful accessories to enhance their daily lives.

Our Values

African expertise

At the heart of YIPI lies a deep respect for African values and know-how, a tradition of authenticity and creativity that is reflected in every accessory we make. My love for crochet and accessory creation dates back to my childhood, where I learned the basics alongside my mother. We are committed to perpetuating this artisanal heritage by carefully selecting our raw materials and local partners. This approach allows us to support the local economy while ensuring unique, durable, and high-quality handmade accessories.
