African Queen 195x300cm
The African Queen rug is a tribute to all the strong women working in the second-hand clothing industry in Africa. The rug is designed by Eno Andrew Essien from Nigeria and handwoven in Kenya. It contains approximately 80 upcycled, unwearable or unsellable jeans, all collected in Nairobi.
By collecting and upcycling used textiles, Africa Collect Textiles (ACT) is giving the starting signal for a circular economy for textiles in Africa. They prevent materials from being thrown away on the land or burned in the open air. In addition, they create solid and well-paid jobs.
The image of the powerful African woman is deliberately larger than the cloth itself, her ambitions reach further and burst out of the existing frameworks.
Dimensions: 195x300cm
Material: denim, denim fabric
Each unique rug is provided with a number and the name of the weaver. With an ACT African Queen rug you not only have a unique and beautiful rug, but you also make a statement towards the clothing industry and create awareness about the ever-growing fast fashion problem.
