AfrikBoutik.com was born out of our passion for the African Continent, and the need to bring authentic African products right to your doorsteps. As occasional visitors to Africa, we had often yearned for the quality products which we could find only when we visited the African Continent. 

All of the products featured are indigenous to West Africa; thus most people are unable to enjoy Authentic exquisite works of art, diverse traditional clothing, cultural djembe drums, unique jewelry and exotic gifts unless they visit Africa.  

AfrikBoutik was designed to address this problem. Why not create an e-commerce site which brings the best that Africa has to offer directly to you?  

It is common knowledge that Africa offers some of the highest quality products and gifted craftsmen. The millions of tourists who visit Africa year after year, return home with many of the products which we offer on this site. 

AfrikBoutik was founded by Joseph K. Bilson and Rainford B. Legair in 2005. 

Joseph, who was born and raised in Ghana, West Africa, makes his home there today, and is an authority on African art and its importance in African culture. 

Brian, of Caribbean Afro-decent takes great pride in his African heritage and has a strong connection and love of the African culture.  

Brian and his longtime friend Joseph whose love for Africa quickly becomes apparent by the quality of products, services offered on this site. As part of their strong love and commitment to the people of Ghana and other African countries, Brian and Joseph are dedicating 5% of all sales to the aid of the under privileged – mainly the disabled and those who can’t afford to pay for their basic schooling or basic medical fees. 

Many of the artists represented on Afrik-Boutik are very close personal friends of the founders, Joseph and Brian, and are the leading artists in their fields. They, along with other reputable local Ghanaian artisans, provide the items you see for sale on our web site.

Our primary objective is to offer you authentic African handmade items of superior quality and value, which is unsurpassed by any other. We hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will return soon.
