Meet the team

Welcome to the ever-so-colorful world of Poplah- my little baby, my pride and joy!

I’m Nonhlanhla, the owner of the hands that make the stuff, the one making the African print bags and accessories we’ve all come to know and love. Fabric addict, craftaholic, wine aficionado. You’ll probably see me manning the stands at various markets or, if I’ve slept at 2am finishing a bag, my big brother, Zolani, will step in to help.

When I’m not sewing (but other than my 9-5, when am I not sewing), I’ve probably got my nose in a book or struggling to keep up with the subtitles of a K-drama (don’t knock it till you’ve tried it).

Fun fact: I started out wanting to make clothes - took classes and everything. I shut that down pretty quickly. Cause…no.

This is my little slice of heaven. I hope you stay
