About

Started by South African fashion & décor stylist Alexia Kondylis Klompje, Deep Dark Africa began as an online shop representing and collaborating with the best of African designers, artists and crafters, with the aim of bringing contemporary hand made design from Africa to the rest of the world.

After great success in a short period of time, with overwhelming local and international response, Deep Dark Africa further evolved into a sourcing, creative and styling consultancy, offering its distinctive brand and style to a wider retail market.

Now selling unique handmade Deep Dark Africa products through collaborators & traders, Deep Dark Africa continues to evolve into a sought after contemporary African design label.

“Deep Dark Africa arises from a time when this unique continent was shrouded in mystery and misunderstood in its unkown ways. Here we shed light on its beauty”.
