Where can I get that? Shopping Africa-inspired designs online

Jewel by Lisa on myAsho
Whenever I am posting a cool design, the number one question is: Where can I get that? To get your hands on items from African Designers can be tricky at times, if they don't have an online-shop on their website. Here is a selection of shopping platforms that offer clothes and accessories from African designers: 

myAsho is the platform with the biggest designer names. They sell accessories and clothes from Jewel by Lisa, Christie Brown, Ituen Basi etc. The site is easy to navigate and they ship worldwide. The only bummer is when it comes to the well-known designer names, that they don't always have a great selection of their latest collections available.

Accessories and designs from emerging designers and smaller labels. Here you can find designers like Doris & Doris, Modahnik, Adjoa Osei and many more.

This platform launched a couple of months ago and has some of the hot designers that I love like Ajepomaa Design Gallery, Ariike Alden and Pearl 1130.

BHF Shopping Mall
Great shopping platform that is part of the BHF Magazine. They offer interior design and paintings as well as accessories, bags and clothes. The prices range from anything between 20 bucks to over 400. I especially like their necklaces and bags.

Supporting up and coming African designers is the objective of this online store.  Here you can find bags by designers like Kushn (love their bags, still on my want list) as well as beaded and silver jewelry.

Africa Batik
A search for designers is not possible, the selection of different styles is limited, but the dresses and skirts that they offer from Chichia London are elegant and stylish.

Le Tabouret adds regularly new designers to their portfolio. Currently you can buy bags here from Aya Morrison, jewelry from Joansu as well as designs from Modahnik and Ajepomaa Design Gallery.

OSISI Africa
Bags and clothes from Kibonen NY and Solome Katongole can be purchased here besides other smaller designers. They also offer menswear.

Affordable designs and a great mix from accessories, interior and clothes. Here you can find scarfs from Eki Orleans, pillows from Eva Sonaike and accessories and clothes from Ifenkili. 

I am also planning on doing a special about etsy-shops offering Africa-inspired designs, so stay tuned! 

Is there another great shopping platform that I missed? Please comment below and let me know!
