Listen "Carrying Culture: The MaiYanga Story"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Smart Growth, we sit with Christine Davies, founder of MaiYanga Bags, a brand redefining contemporary fashion with African fabrics.
From Ankara to Adire, Asooke to Damask, Christine blends tradition with modern style — creating bags, caps, and accessories that celebrate identity, culture, and creativity.
Together with our expert, we unpack the journey of building a fashion brand rooted in heritage but designed for the future. Christine shares the challenges of standing out in a crowded market, the power of cultural storytelling, and why fashion can be more than style.
If you love fashion, culture, or entrepreneurship, this episode will inspire you to see your craft as both a business and a story worth telling.
