I was cruising over at Elle.com and came across an article on a new swim line called Bantu:
Designed on the Ivory Coast and manufactured in Ethiopia, the line’s two and one piece suits feature bright, vibrant West African prints. The designer, Yodit Eklund, was raised in Kenya, Sudan, Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Egypt and studied environmental science and economics at UC Berkeley.
Purchase the suits for a little over $100 at Fred Segal, Anthropologie, and Barneys.
Wow! Yodit is my step cousin and I am glad too see her brand receiving some true attention!
