Laurence Kanza founded La Petite Congolaise (translated as 'The little Congolese girl') out of a love for fashion, interiors and wax prints. The interiors accessories brand draws its inspiration from the craftsmanship and details characteristic of Congolese style and design.  Through her range of handmade limited edition pieces, Laurence’s creations offer a contemporary twist on accent colours for the home.

 

Her work has been featured in: Red magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, The Independent, House Magazine, and was shown as part of Africa Utopia at the Southbank Centre during the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
