The Afro Poncho Collection was born from Bamba’s personal journey of resilience. While awaiting his Green Card in Côte d'Ivoire, he faced immense challenges, including separation from his 7-year-old daughter. These hardships became the driving force behind his passion for Bogolonfini.
“During one of the most difficult times of my life, creating Bogolonfini gave me hope and purpose,” said Bamba. “The Afro Poncho Collection represents the strength and beauty of our heritage, crafted in partnership with the talented artisans of Côte d'Ivoire. It’s a testament to turning pain into art and adversity into opportunity.”
Bogolonfini, meaning “earth cloth" in Bambara, is dedicated to preserving African craftsmanship while delivering contemporary, socially conscious fashion. The Afro Poncho Collection features bold prints and vibrant colors, designed for individuals who want to make a statement while supporting ethical and sustainable fashion.
Bamba, who was recently granted his Green Card, continues to use his platform to advocate for immigrant rights. He is also gearing up for the release of his upcoming film 3 Cold Dishes, produced by Spaceship Films co-founded by Nigerian superstar Burna Boy and his mother Bose Ogulu.
