OUR STORY The Story Behind the Brand AFFASO garments are created based on the heritage of wax prints. The brand combines African designs, colors and storytelling with superior comfort and fit. These are characteristics which today’s global fashion is in need of and which AFFASO offers in each and every product. By wearing it you will be inspired by its very soul. In the past African fabrics were printed using the wax technology resulting in ‘perfect imperfection’ of the designs and colors. We will bring those old designs back to life. Today the modern digital printing is used on a comfortable fabric achieving the same unique handwriting. Thanks to extensive collaboration with designers, merchandisers and stylists Affaso is able to create unique products. We will initially offer men shirts. Other product categories will be added as of 2019. The Affaso platform also plans to distribute products via wholesale channels. The AFFASO brand launch is an initiative of a team with extensive experiences in middle to high-end fashion companies (brands like Laura Ashley, Nike, Mexx, Vlisco, ABC, DaViva, Excellence, Uniwax, Woodin and GTP). While operating on the African continent over the past 7 years, the team identified beautiful (heritage) African prints that are considered very relevant in the current fashion trends across the globe.

In 2010 startte het Kabinet met het topsectorenbeleid. De logistieke sector is een van de negen sectoren waarin Nederland uitblinkt en mondiaal toonaangevend is. De Topsector Logistiek wil maximaal bijdragen aan het versterken van de internationale concurrentiepositie.
