BAMILEK is an independent concept store based in Scotland, connecting the African Diaspora.
Our mission is to build on the legacy started by our ancestors, to produce products for people like me. With textiles amounting to 7% of the total waste in global landfill space we knew when creating these products that one of our main goals would be to minimise the amount of waste we create, which is why we upcycle garments + find different methods to recycle our scrapped materials. We sell handmade planet-friendly products that are indeed auntie approved!
We've always cared a lot about our community + the importance of being able to give back to it. We do this through the community events we hold; in this space you are seen, in this space you are welcomed, in this space you are safe, and in this space you can create without expectations.
This is what it means to be part of our tribe, you truly get to be your authentic self.
This is just the beginning of our story, hopefully you stick around for a while because we have so much more to do...
Growing up in a place where you just can't seem to find any representation of yourself, no matter how hard you look, is hard … I’m so grateful to my family for being my representation. Honestly without my mum shoving my culture down my throat, in the most loving way possible, I wouldn’t be where I am today so thanks mum <3
BAMILEK isn’t just another business venture to me, it’s a way to nurture my tribe’s legacy. As Bamiléké we are known to be entrepreneurs, artists + much more. Everyone has their own culture, but one way or another it’s being washed down losing the essence of what it was. This is why BAMILEK is so important to me, to be able to build on my legacy and continue to see it flourish.
Just because you weren’t born in your place of origin doesn’t mean you don’t have roots there to care about. So thank you very much for support me. A Cameroonian + Congolese girl, born in Scotland.
Here’s to connecting the African Diaspora!
Much love, p a t s y ✨
