the mumbi collective

Founded by Lavelyne Muthini, The Mumbi Collective is a slow-fashion knitwear brand designed for the modern woman. Rooted in Africa but crafted for a global audience, the brand celebrates heritage, functionality, and elegance through heavy, hand-knit statement pieces. These garments are more than just clothing; they are woven stories of resilience and identity, embodying both strength and softness. Inspired by the grace and determination of African women, the brand's name, "Mumbi," honors women as creators and leaders. Each collection is a reflection of this spirit, blending cultural memory, modern design, and sustainable craftsmanship. The pieces are versatile enough for travel, bold enough to make a statement, and comfortable enough for everyday wear. Sustainability is central to the brand's mission. By using natural, long-lasting materials, prioritizing small-batch production, and collaborating with local artisans, The Mumbi Collective contributes to an ethical and circular African fashion ecosystem. Ultimately, the brand creates pieces that are deeply African yet universally relevant, inspiring confidence and telling Africa's story in every stitch.
