Penduka&Smateria

Prints on the fabrics available at this store include one of a woman collecting water and another of silhouettes of African trees and animals. While there is something vaguely familiar about them, they come from quite a distant place—Namibia. Selling handsewn goods by women from this African country, the company’s name and slogan is penduka (meaning “wake up” in Oshiwambo). Penduka is a fair trade brand that started exporting last year. Nambian women get to stand on their own through
these product designs and this is the only enduka showroom in all of Korea. Even for those that don’t know the philanthropic back-story, the items here are swoon-worthy. Pick up items such as pouches, eco bags and more to make the trip to Penduka all the more valuable.
