FASHION AND BEAUTY
Margaux Rusita is the founder of Margaux Wong, a Burundi-based sustainable, ethically-produced jewellery brand quickly gaining global appeal, and one of many designers on the rise in the country’s creative scene.
Bujumbura is blossoming with artists, musicians and designers that are using the power of self-expression and creativity to connect, and to pave the way for a luminous future in Burundi.
The episode is all about ethically-produced fashion and art, but primarily touches on Burundi and the emerging opportunities within its borders.
The designer explains the challenges in finding artisans who are skilled in traditional techniques, how she’s found it possible to succeed at both motherhood and entrepreneurship through “passion, love and perseverance” and how Burundi will learn to appreciate art once more.
