About Tarisai
Hi my name is Tarisai, Zimbabwean born and owner of Savannah Fashions, I moved to Australia some years ago and one thing I found was that I developed a terrible state of homesickness. I developed this need to wear quality clothes and accessories that represented my identity and African cultural background, that showed off our bold, beautiful, vibrant and colorful African prints.

My Story
Nostalgia!!!
Yes that's right That wistful and excessively year to return to some past period or irrecoverable condition well ... irrecoverable for now i guess!
I missed home...
Have you looked for Unique, stylish, excellent quality African clothing and accessories and just couldn't find any? Have you also looked for something to wear that represents your identity represents your African cultural background and wanted to show off aur bold beautiful
vibrant and colorful African print and really struggled to find exactly what you needed?"
I remember trying to find shops that sold beautiful, bright African inspired stylish clothing, colorful and unique accessories and sadly at the time there were none locally or not many online. I remember trying to describe African clothing to my friends and family who lived in Australia, I would order online and open my pack and only to find the quality was not good enough, or the fabric and prints did not represent home and African culture as i remembered growing up. I really wanted to be able to share my culture, especially being a mother with children, I wanted my children to be able to appreciate my culture, their culture, I am proud of who l am, my cultural background I am knowledgeable and appreciative about other African Countries culture and dress and that's when I decided to start my own business, Savannah Fashions.
Savannah fashions is just not about cultural and ethnic clothing and prints, Savannah fashions is about belonging, about community, about culture and most importantly about a movement to cherish, remind and uphold our African heritage for our children and grandchildren, and the community around us.
