Haute Baso is an ethical Rwandan fashion brand designing high-quality local
products inspired by Rwandan culture with a global twist. It was established in
February 2014 when the two young, ambitious and talented Rwandan fashion
designers, Candy Basomingera and Linda Mukangoga, merged their respective
brands believing that “two heads are better than one.” Using their passion for
fashion as a vehicle for positive change, they work towards advancing women and
youth empowerment through training, mentorship programs and job creation.
Determined to put Rwanda on the
world fashion map, Haute Baso is
helping create a thriving local fashion
industry by unleashing the potential
of Rwandan art and showing that
Rwandan fashion is chic, contemporary and accessible. Working in
collaboration with 52 local artisans
who bring the brand’s modern,
functional and innovative designs
to life and provide all raw materials,
Haute Baso’s stunning collections of
globally-minded culturally inspired
clothing, accessories and jewellery
prove that Rwanda is a country full
of talent, entrepreneurship, and
creativity.
This week, Haute Baso is represented
at the Global Entrepreneurship
Summit in Silicon Valley. Watch
