A new luxury African-Caribbean boutique has opened in Bristol hoping to help revive an overlooked area of Bristol’s shopping quarter. Afro Street first launched on December 6 just before the Christmas rush taking over an empty unit in the Arcade in Broadmead.
The fashion, homeware and gifts store is a platform for progressive Black makers and designers to showcase their beautiful hand-crafted products. Founder Danny Duod, originally from Ghana, runs the company with his partner Kate Spence Duod offering a boutique of luxury, unique products and helping inspire customers to shop locally.
Danny’s first taste for entrepreneurship started while he was studying architecture at a university in London where he launched a t-shirt brand alongside his degree, which met great success.
