Friday's Wanderer in Cloth – Afia
Afia is a name from the Akan culture of Ghana and means "born on Friday." She carries with her the spirit of a wanderer and traveler—so don't be surprised if she suddenly appears on your doorstep. You'll recognize her by her casual Rasta hairstyle and her vibrant, matching skirt and top. But beware: Afia is mischievous and can slip away as easily as she appears.Handmade by Afghan refugee women using leftover materials, Afia not only embodies cultural significance but also supports a sustainable income for her makers. She embodies the spirit of adventure and the joy of unexpected encounters. Afia brings playful energy wherever she goes, celebrating the beauty of cultural diversity and economic empowerment.
The product comes with bedding for the doll, packed in a smart, foldable box.
