On the shores of Bawe Island, SoLA (Society of Luxury Artisanship) has redefined the way visitors experience fashion and culture in Zanzibar. More than a boutique, it is a curated journey into craftsmanship; a place where garments, objects, and artifacts are appreciated not only for their beauty but for the stories they carry. Established in 2025 by the creative minds behind Industrie Africa, SoLA reflects a commitment to provenance and purpose, offering a carefully selected collection that feels as intimate as it is international.

What makes SoLA remarkable is its ability to capture Zanzibar’s spirit while opening a window to the wider world. Every item, whether a handwoven textile, a piece of jewelry, or a lifestyle object, is chosen with intention connecting local traditions with global artistry. The space honors Africa’s thriving design community while engaging with like-minded creators across continents, building a dialogue that feels both timeless and modern. For travelers seeking depth and discovery, SoLA stands as an emblem of cultural exchange, where island heritage meets global craftsmanship in a uniquely Zanzibar way.

Whether you are staying on Bawe Island or not, make sure to visit SoLA Zanzibar for an unforgettable shopping experience.
