Based in Toronto, Canada, Sirani's Fashion was established in 2017 by Fatim Sylla. Fatim Sylla traces her love for African fashion back to her childhood when she used to vacation on the Ivory Coast. With the expansion of Africa globally, Fatim Sylla saw an opportunity to bring a part of her culture to Toronto by designing her own collection inspired by African prints and occidental designs. From then, Fatim Sylla started her journey collaborating with tailors in Africa and Toronto to bring the 1st Sirani's Fashion collection to life. Sirani's Fashion's mission is to bring African fashion into every home in Canada and beyond. With a worldwide customer base, Fatim continues to expand her product offering. Sirani's Fashion core values are: Authenticity: Staying true to African fashion. Versatility: Collection that offers diverse styling options for diverse styling needs. Diversity: From casual to high fashion offerings

Founded in 2018, two brothers possessing the skillset and passion for cut and sew, decided to put their creative talents on display. What seemingly started as an effort to surpass each other’s work, evolved to shape the inception of The Book of Exodus. Creating garments together under one identity became logical, identifying now as thy brother's keeper while willfully displaying the labor of our hands. Through thoughtful designs and continuous efforts, we aim to achieve a cohesive balance between pre-eminent and high-end fashion and attain a community of like-minded people who regard craftsmanship.

The Hustle Never Dies is a lifestyle brand inspired by Ambition, Hustle and Community. Since our inception we have been dedicated to creating quality products, providing exceptional customer service and giving back to underserved communities

Let’s TAWK: We gon tawk, is a brand that encourages freedom of expression, and gives everyone a voice. I believe we are often taught to subdue our creative sides especially for me, coming from a traditional Caribbean background. Choosing to do something in a creative or artistic background is often frowned upon. I started this brand to give people a platform to break free of all fear and inhibitions, and break down barriers, to feel comfortable and free when expressing themselves. ““EXPRESS YOURSELF, USE YOUR VOICE’”

GET TO KNOW THE DESIGNER. Are you tired of looking at clothing designs that all look and feel the same? Are you looking for clothing pieces that are timeless, unique, elegant and tailored to suit your body? If you answered yes to any of those questions then you’re in the same boat as I was up until 2016 and here’s how I solved the problem. I’m Chizoba Udeh-Martin, and in the spring of 2016, I founded Zoba Martin, a clothing brand that embodies elegance and character. I create a broad range of designs at Zoba Martin, including semi-formal and luxury pieces. My designs are inspired by the architecture, nature and people. Originally from Eastern Nigeria, my journey to Zoba Martin has led me to several Canadian cities. I started out with a degree in Entrepreneurship at the University of Ottawa and then completed a diploma in Fashion Design and Pattern Making at La Salle College of Design in Toronto. I currently live in Toronto and hand make all of my pieces in my private studio. I believe that whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. Therefore, excellence is one principle that guides my work. With Zoba Martin, my challenge to myself is to continue to learn, break glass ceilings and stretch boundaries. My promise to you is that with each project we work on together, you will not only receive excellent customer service but also an excellent product. If you’re looking to own a masterpiece that will turn heads then Zoba Martin is the brand for you. Send me a message, let’s make magic happen!

SUCCESS is a family game for two to eight players. The game’s concept was developed to illustrate how Success is defined differently in each person’s life. Success to one person might be to own a motorcycle and be an investor. Another person may define their success by getting married, starting a career and having children. Our board game allows players to fantasize about the different combinations of success that they’ve always dreamed about.

We’re Michael and Toks. And we’ve been best friends for nearly twenty years. We joined our first gym together as teenagers, and we both had our first jobs together as young adults. We’ve been through a lot together growing up. But we never thought we’d end up in business together. We were determined to solve a problem. Back in 2017, Michael was studying a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Politics at the University of Leeds. Toks was working in the City of London, training to be an actuary. Neither of us had ever learnt how to swim. So we started to learn together – and one day, we met a woman with afro hair who struggled with the size of her swimming cap. And that got us thinking, why weren’t there more products for people blessed with voluminous hair? That one woman we met stuck in our minds. So over the next few weeks, we spoke to our sisters, our mums, and our circle of friends. The more we learnt, the more we started to see a real problem in the health and beauty industry: it was completely overlooking the needs of people with thick, curly, and voluminous hair. We wanted to make what no one else was making. With these hair types in mind, we started to design the first SOUL CAP – an extra-large swimming cap created for swimmers who struggle with their hair. We went through dozens of designs and sourced hundreds of different samples to find the products and manufacturers that met our high standards. Not just in terms of quality – but the ethical standards that we live by. Plenty of people said our market was too niche so we had to work hard to overcome our own doubts. We were both determined: we believed it could be done. We love bringing our ideas to life. Today, we’re more than just best friends - we’re business partners. We love bringing our ideas to life, and we love seeing the reviews and messages from all of our happy customers. We’ve shipped more than 30,000 of our swimming caps to customers all over the world – we’re already working hard to bring you the next product in our line. But we also know how lucky we are – and we believe in giving something back. That’s why we work with The Wonder Foundation, a charity that helps disadvantaged women, girls, and communities through education.
