When Elegance Meets Craftsmanship in the Art of Embroidery
La Signare is a handmade embroidery workshop founded by Fatoumata DIENG in Dakar, Senegal. It offers handcrafted embroidery products along with embroidery workshops. The workshop highlights craftsmanship, African aesthetics, and pays tribute to the mixed-race women known as "Signares," renowned for their elegance and embroidery expertise.
La Signare primarily utilizes organic materials such as cotton and wood, as well as mineral substances like beads in its creations. These materials are carefully transformed, employing certified biodegradable cotton and high-quality beaded threads. The brand favors both traditional and modern techniques for weaving, sewing, embroidering, and assembling their products with precision.
