Historic "Big Market"
Big Market is one of the historical monuments in Sierra Leone. Located in Freetown, it was originally built in 1861 by an Afro-West Indian Builder, Charles Hazelborg. It sits at the heart of Freetown, founded by African American settlers in 1792, who gained their freedom from fighting for the British during the American Revolutionary War. Big Market is a perfect illustration to the dynamic history and diversity of Freetown. Market Traders, especially Women Traders and Arts & Crafts Traders are at the heart of our brand.
Some products are now available in Sierra Leone. Furnish your home and office with unique decor and displays of inspirational messages with a hint of heritage and history. Contact 079696103 for more information on available products.
Introducing Our Signature "Gara" Throw Pillows
Our Gara Throw Pillows are hand designed and crafted by our team of skilled Creatives in Sierra Leone. Sierra Leoneans are known for unique skills and techniques in Gara production. This tradition has remained in our lead designer's family for generations. Gara production is believed to have arrived in Sierra Leone during the 18th Century by Susu and Madingo migrants from Guinea and nearby places in the region.
