Cocolili: A Premium African Fashion Brand with a Purpose

Cocolili is a premium African fashion brand with a purpose.  Founded by Furaha Bishota, Cocolili is on a very bold and daring mission to educate 1 million underprivileged African girls by 2034. The premium brand embodies the fusion of African heritage with contemporary style and is determined to make a difference.

A chartered accountant and certified internal auditor with a masters degree in international development, Furaha's return to her roots in Africa sparked a vision for something unique in the retail landscape. Drawing from her experiences at iconic fashion giants like The Gap, Banana Republic, and Victoria's Secret, Furaha set out to create Cocolili, a contemporary African fashion clothing brand that celebrates Africa's rich cultural tapestry while offering high-quality, tailored clothing and accessories for women, men, and children.

Launched in 2016, Cocolili quickly garnered attention for its bold and colorful prints adorning timeless silhouettes. Each design tells a story, reflecting Furaha's Tanzanian and Kenyan heritage and serving as a canvas to share the beauty of African fashion with the world.

But Cocolili is more than just a fashion label; it is a remarkable journey of passion, purpose, and empowerment. Fueled by Furaha's passion for uplifting young girls, the brand allocates 10% of every purchase to the Cocolili Education Fund. This initiative aims to provide educational opportunities to underprivileged high school girls, empowering them to pursue their dreams and build brighter futures.

Explore the brand's African heritage through fashion and become part of the movement to empower young girls through education while elevating your style.
