Embrace Africa's beauty through Handmade Treasures

We are Maxime and Christelle, a Belgian-Congolese couple with a shared passion for the African continent and a deep love for its rich cultural heritage.

About Us:

We are both working in the aviation industry and have embarked on this inspiring journey driven by a shared desire to change the Western perspective on Africa.

We believe that by integrating African shades and influences into our daily lives, we can bridge the gap between continents and cultivate a market where African vibrancy and Western sensibilities come together harmoniously.

With "KOLINGA," we seek to spread this vision and invite individuals of all ages to be a part of this inclusive movement.

Our Mission and Vision:

At Kolinga, our mission is to showcase the rich cultural heritage through our handmade treasures. By making collections that beautifully blends African fabrics and modern designs, we strive to inspire others to embrace the beauty of Africa and integrate it into their daily lives. Through our products, we hope to break down stereotypes surrounding the African continent.

Handmade Treasures and Authenticity:

Our collections at Kolinga features a diverse range of handcrafted products.

From vibrant baskets and exquisite cushion covers to stylish tote bags, each item is a testament of passion and skill poured into each creation, lovingly sewn in by none other than Christelle’s mother, right here in Belgium.

We source our African fabrics directly from the continent and from the Netherlands.

Join Our Journey:

Through our blog and social media channels, we will share stories, insights, and inspiration that highlight the beauty of African culture.

Together, let us create a world where the love for Africa knows no boundaries and where the fusion of African vibrancy and Western sensibilities brings joy and connection.
