My name is Fatoumata DIENG, I was born and raised in Dakar, the capital of Senegal.
After twenty years of professional life, notably as a former employee of the private sector and international organizations, the time has come for me to launch into entrepreneurship and to use my talents as a designer in embroidery and African-inspired decoration.
With zero capital but a clear desire to take on the challenges of entrepreneurship and handmade creation, La Signare experienced its first days in Dakar in 2018. It was only in France, my adopted land, that I discovered another world of art through international exhibitions.
2020 is the decisive year when La Signare opens up internationally with the creation of the online store Signare.fr which sells handmade embroidery products (household linens) and decorative objects (paintings, etc.). With a few sessions spent with the Arroutaines association "les doigts de fées" I specialize in needle painting.
The year 2022 saw the ranking of the company La Signare among the 54 winners of WIA (Women In Africa).
In 2023, I obtained the certificate of Embroidery Art Level 1 at the school of embroidery Art - Studio Eyral. That same year, La Signare obtained the Quality Performance Charter of the Chamber of Trades and Crafts of Val-de-Marne in France.
The particularity of the company lies in the love of handmade work, training, exhibitions, and exchanges. What distinguishes La Signare are its unique handmade embroidery products, worked with particular care, as well as the choice of its environmentally friendly materials.
Our hand-embroidered products are delivered with a certificate of authenticity.
La Signare is present on the social networks Facebook and Instagram.
With La Signare, each embroidery tells a unique story.
