Mia Kora Inspired with Conservation Conscience and Fashion Sense

Posted on by Oscar Alochi

Where Art Meets Fashion

MIA KORA (100 Gold Coins) is a collection of scarves and shawls that is centered around the concept of WEARABLE ART.

Some of Mia Kora scarves collections.

A collection of scarves and shawls bridging the gap between art and fashion.

Originally inspired solely by Artist and Mia Kora founder Priya Shah’s artwork, we now have a growing portfolio of talented Artists and designers whose diverse work keeps our collections unique, creating on-trend surface patterns and collections every season.

Priya graduated with a degree in Textiles but started off her career working in a Bronze foundry where she got to experience both 2D and 3D art. She started painting full time and worked as a freelance artist for about 12 years before going back full circle and heading back to her first love… fabric!

Painting A New Trend

Putting her artwork onto beautiful fabrics and wearing them became an addiction. Her paintings and designs adorn Scarves, Shawls, Soft furnishings, Sarees, Wall paper and much more!

Not one to work within boundaries and limitations, Mia Kora has now branched out to being a full scale fabric production house offering digital printing on a variety of fabrics for the Fashion, Art and Interior industries. We are able to offer a wide range of fabrics from synthetic to natural fibres to suit all kinds of creative ventures.

(More information on DIGITAL PRINTING visit Mai Kora website Here).

“I felt restricted with paintings being hung up, with this concept and my training in textiles I could bring them more to life by being able to wear my work and wrap myself in my own comfort bubble.” Priya

Mia Kora Conservation

Born and brought up in Kenya where the wildlife, flora and fauna has become a part of her being, it was natural to become protective of her surrounding ecosystem.  Mia Kora has introduced a charity collection where between 40% – 100% of the profits go towards selected organisations.

Currently we are working with and been a part of the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (UK), Ol Pejeta Conservancy (Kenya), Helping Rhinos (UK), Tofauti Foundation (UK), Anne Kent Taylor Fund (Kenya), Heed India (INDIA) as well as the Amboseli Trust for Elephants (Kenya) which has become one of our favorite wildlife conservation projects. Alongside wildlife projects we are now working with local communities, especially women from marginalized communities, providing them with healthcare essentials and education.

For more details on any of our conservation projects please feel free to get in touch with Mia Kora.

Top 10 African Fashion Store in Kenya

Posted on by Oscar Alochi

African clothing commonly refers to the traditional clothing worn by the people of Africa,different tribes throughout the continent pride themselves on their national dress which they use for ceremonies and special occasions.
There are many varied styles of dress and the type of cloth plays an integral role in fashioning the garment. The fabric often reflects the society in general as well as the status of individuals or groups within that community, In some instances traditional robes have been replaced or influenced by foreign cultures, like colonial impact or western popular dress code.
The evolution of dress in Africa is very difficult to trace due to the lack of written word and actual historical evidence. Much is pieced together from various sources like traditional robes being handed down to present day tribal members, word of mouth (oral history), theater (masquerades) and from art and artifacts which show sculptural representations of dress.

4 Shore

Posted on by Oscar Alochi

Larissa and David grew up in Kenya, surrounded by its beautiful plant, marine and wildlife. After studying graphic design and fashion in Cape Town and the Netherlands, the siblings returned to their favourite childhood beach spot (picturesque Kilifi) and created 4 Shore, a graphic design and clothing company rooted in social and environmental ethics.

Both keen surfers, travellers and sailors, David and Larissa were inspired to create a range of quality yet casual beach clothing that epitomises a youthful, coastal and environmentally conscious culture. Rejecting “fast fashion”, they opted instead for classic organic cotton t-shirts, upon which they digitally print their drawings, watercolours, and conservation messages.

They also create unique logos and branding concepts for organisations. Previous clients include Tusk Trust, Lewa Safaricom Marathon, Distant Relatives Ecolodge, and Colobus Conservation. 

“The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now.” For every 4 Shore item you purchase, we plant a tree! We want to help conserve Kenya’s unique wildlife and natural environment.

​We also want to reduce the carbon footprint of our business and set an example to other clothing companies: fashion can be a force for good.

So since 2014, we’ve worked with Green World Campaign to plant indigenous or food trees in rural schools, local communities, and deforested places in our local area,together we’ve planted 5,405 trees to date, with more planned for later this year.

4 Shore Process of Creating their Eco friendly products 

4 shore is inspired by nature and they start by creating drawings and painting watercolors that feature Kenya’s unique plants, animals and environment. These artworks form the basis of 4 shore graphic design work, and also there printed cotton clothing range

They  source ethical and sustainable, organic cotton fabric, and their  digital printing method uses non-toxic, water based inks, they design prints and choose clothing styles that will last and also offset there carbon emissions by planting a tree for every item sold.

4 Shore currently sources ready-made cotton clothing from manufacturers who comply with the Global Organic Textile Standard. This is a mark of quality that ensures cotton producers and manufacturers meet strict environmental and social criteria.

All GOTS certified clothing uses cotton that has been grown using no hazardous pesticides or chemicals, and no forced or child labour.

Their clothing is classic and practical, 4 shore create meaningful designs to print on to garments that will last.they  want their t-shirts to be your “old favourites” who’ve been everywhere with you, not purchased on a whim and thrown out next season.

Living by the ocean,they have witness the scourge of plastic every single day and they try to recycle and use plastic as little as possible. 4 shore pack and send your items in hand made baobab/banana leaf paper, and thier swing tags are printed on recycled cardboard using non-toxic inks.
