How to Add Global Flair to Your Wardrobe

We’ve all been there. You spy a dress, a bag, a necklace, or a pair of boots you love and the next thing you know, you’ve stopped a total stranger to breathlessly ask where she got it.

How disappointing when she casually drawls that it’s from a little flea market in Paris or mountaintop village in Peru and then saunters off, leaving you to rue the lack of global flair in your own wardrobe. Covet no more: the Muzungu Sisters have got your back in international fashion.

“Muzungu” is Swahili for wanderer or traveler, and founders Dana Alikhani and Tatiana Santo Domingo live up to the name. They travel the globe sourcing exclusive artisan creations to promote both cultural diversity and fair labor practices – all while oozing style. We caught up with Tatiana to find out a bit more about what makes her tick.

What is your favorite journey?
An unexpected journey.

What is your idea of earthly happiness?
Being surrounded by friends, laughing, drinking and eating good food. 

What do you regard as the epitome of misery?
Self pity.

Who are your favorite travelers in history?
Richard Burton, Freya Stark, Marco Polo, T.E. Lawrence, and Jacques Cousteau.

Who are your heroes in real life?
Nelson Mandela, Joan of Arc, and Billie Holiday.

How do you define “good”?
Not bad!

What’s one thing you wish more people were aware of?
There are so many things. But I wish more people would realize that they can easily make a difference by giving a little bit of their time and believing in a cause.

What do you consider your next big goal?
To grow with Muzungu Sisters and work with amazing artisans from all over the world.

What are your favorite virtues?
Compassion and loyalty.

Do you have a motto?
“Shall we? Why not, let's!”

Get the well-traveled look with the Muzungu Sisters – and ensure that the next person who’s stopped for that fantastic bracelet or belt is none other than you.
 

When was the last time you stopped someone to ask where they got their scarf, shoes, dress, or boots?
