How to order

Order a limited and unique edition of our existing works showcased on our Works page. Each edition is limited to 10 pieces.You can check out realised editions on our archive page.
Your selected composition will be reproduced onto a plain raffia weaving. Subsequently, the weaving undergoes a transformative journey as it is dispatched to Ilebo Kasai, where one of our talented women artists meticulously embroiders and cuts the pile, crafting it into a distinct edition.
Alternatively, you can collaborate with our artists to design a bespoke piece. This versatile medium finds its place beyond traditional art, extending into realms of design and fashion.
The production of a Shoowa raffia piece entails a meticulous process spanning several months, yielding a product entirely derived from natural materials.
Embracing the essence of improvisation and creative liberty inherent in this craft, each resulting piece may vary from the initial design, offering a unique interpretation. This dynamic approach, akin to the improvisational nature of jazz, fosters an enriching exchange between artist and creation. Every woman brings her distinct perspective, enriching the creative dialogue.
Our skilled artists women are dedicated to bring your vision to life, embark on the journey of crafting your personal “velours de Kasai”. Regular updates featuring photos of the velours’ progression allow you to witness their evolution over time.
All proceeds from the sales of these editions go entirely to our non profit organisation , offering our artists and staff in Congo a fair wage that has a positive impact on their lives.
Join us in celebrating the fusion of tradition and innovation as we invite you to explore the evolving world of Futur-Velours.
