The collections
Sokhna, Wanda, Yaye, discover our original creations.
Welcome to our new exquisite embroidery collection from La Signare. It's a real pleasure for me to present to you our unique creations that blend the traditional art of embroidery with a contemporary aesthetic. Each piece in this collection has been meticulously designed and crafted with passion.
Through these collections, I invite you to immerse yourself in a world where embroidered motifs come to life. Inspired by nature, art, and the richness of African culture, captivating patterns tell the story of our African women.
Every embroidered thread represents hours of meticulous work and dedication, resulting in unique and exceptional creations.
I hope that these collections: Aminata, Sokhna, and Wanda will captivate you as much as they inspired us during their creation. May these unique pieces bring a touch of sophistication and beauty to your space, and transport you to a world where embroidery becomes a timeless form of art.
The Animata Collection
"Aminata" is a commonly used name in West Africa. I chose this name to represent a girl with a sincere gaze and a mischievous smile. Aminata is proudly featured on table napkins, cushion covers, paintings, and mugs.
The YAYE Collection
A widely used name in West Africa, particularly in countries like Senegal. "Yaye" in Wolof, the national language of Senegal, means "mother," and is often given to honor mothers and women who play a significant role in the family and community. It evokes the loving and protective figure, symbolizing maternal love and feminine strength. Yaye gracefully adorns cushion covers and mugs.
The Wanda Collection
"Wanda" is a name of Slavic origin that also has variants in different cultures. It is commonly used in several regions around the world, particularly in Europe and East Africa. Here, Wanda symbolizes the South African woman who proudly wears colors specific to her culture. Wanda is a strong, independent, and determined woman. She is featured on cushion covers with her entirely beaded necklace, embroidered with cotton thread, and on Limoges porcelain mugs.
African doll Collection
These African handcrafted dolls combine traditional aesthetics and contemporary functionality, representing a harmonious marriage between the art object and the practical storage box. Each doll, beautifully dressed in traditional African fabrics, features a vibrant array of geometric, floral and polka dot designs, often embellished with fine white lace. Coordinating scarves and carefully chosen jewelry add to their authentic charm.
Beyond their external beauty, these dolls also serve as ingenious storage boxes, offering a stylish solution for hiding small, everyday items. They not only embody the richness of African identity and the exquisite craftsmanship of the continent but also prove to be functional pieces that bring a spirit of innovation to tradition. These dolls are therefore an exceptional choice for those looking to enrich their surroundings with pieces that are both culturally significant and practical.
