About Us

Mavula Mudiambu is a London-based brand created by Naomie Makana, a Congolese artist who transforms cultural pride into wearable expression.

Rooted in the richness of Congolese identity, known for its love of shine, detail, and bold fashion, the brand brings this spirit to life through handcrafted, bead-embroidered pieces.

Each vest is individually hand-embellished in London with over 1,200 beads, making every garment a unique piece of art. No two pieces are ever identical: each carries its own character intention and story.

This is more than clothing. It is cultural storytelling and a form of activism. Every design amplifies Congolese visibility, celebrates heritage, and sparks conversation.

In honour of the people who inspire this work, a portion of sales is periodically donated to support humanitarian efforts in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
