Africa’s Adele Dejak introduces the Swaddy collection, coming soon to London

February 4, 2014 By VoyageVixens Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that we are big fans of Kenya’s accessory designer Adele Dejak. Her phenomenal collections of jewelry and handbags first took our breath away when we visited her Nairobi studio in 2012. Now, hold on to your bag straps, because a new, dynamic side to Adele Dejak is about to take the fashion world by storm.

This year marks the launch of her AD LUX range of products, the first in the collection being the Swaady. Highlighting and exemplifying the African luxury movement that has been taking the fashion world by storm the past couple of years, the collection pays homage to a rich African heritage while celebrating the African Renaissance.

Dejak’s Nigerian roots merge perfectly with European influences in her never-ending quest for designs that allow you to express your own style. Her collections feature pieces for every style, genre, and personality, from the simple and classic to the bold and boisterous.

Working, as always, with the best artisans in Uganda and Kenya, the new “Swaady” line includes handmade bags and jewelry made from horn, recycled aluminum and recycled brass.

Dejak’s collaborators have included the liked of Salvatore Ferragamo, Abury Berlin, Milan Fashion Week Vogue Talents and Samsung/MBFWA for Amaze Africa. The official launch took place a couple of weeks ago at the annual Tribal Chic fashion show at Nairobi’s Tribe Hotel. The show was a huge success by all accounts and many of Dejak’s pieces were sold out that week.

But — they’re now back in stock! If you happen to be in the UK February 9 to 11, 2014, Adele Dejak’s we will be featuring Swaady at PURE London. Be sure to pop in and say hello from the Voyage Vixens!

WHO ARE THE VIXENS?

Lanee Lee and Lindsay Taub of Voyage Vixens

Hi! We're Lanee and Lindsay. You may have gotten to this page because you're intrigued by the word "vixens" or maybe you found some of our porn online (#travelporn, that is!). Either way, we are fully aware we are not what you typically think of when you hear the word "vixen", i.e. boobalicious babe wearing skintight minidresses in 6-inch heels. In our book, you don't need DDs to be a VV. To us -- vixens are smart and sassy women (and men, why not?!) who take action, scared sh**less or not, to turn their dreams into realities. Now you know a little about us; we'd like to get to know you. Connect with us on twitter, instagram, google+, pinterest, youtube, Facebook, tumblr, and periscope! (yes, we're on them all...#sorrynotsorry)

Got a Story to Tell?

We want to hear it! We're now accepting guest blog posts. Send us your travel tale—be it hilarious, heartwarming or horrifying— to [email protected]. Promise, you'll hear from us in less than 48 hours.
