The name RuvaAfricWear came from combining Ruva, Africa, and Wear. Ruva means flower in Shona (Zimbabwe), which is Sylvester Ndhlovu's (Owner & Founder) native language. We chose Ruva or “Flower” because it symbolizes beauty, passion, humility, lasting friendship, compassion, fascination, thankfulness, royalty, and many other positive symbolisms we associate with Africa and our brand.
RuvaAfricWear currently does minimum charity work or donations but the goal is to do more as we become well-established and profitable. We highly value education and empowering African people because that is the only way we can truly alleviate poverty and build self-sufficient and sustainable African communities.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our online store and for reading this! We hope you enjoy your purchase for a long time and come visit us again. Like Ruva or “Flower” our brand will continue to bloom and we hope you build a great RuvaAfricWear collection in your closet and/or home.
