The collection was warmly received on the runway of the Glitz Africa Fashion Week.

Organisers of this weekend’s event have promised the public that they will have the options of choosing from beautifully crafted handbags, and bespoke men’s footwear whilst sipping on gingerbread lattes and exploring the ‘Secret Garden’ and stunning Showroom.

mSimps | Ewuraba 2013

‘Ewuraba’ in the Fante dialect of the Ghanaian language means ‘Lady’. A true ‘Ewuraba’ is elegant, beautiful and charming. She dresses with style and 'accessorizes' with finesse!

This year we are inspired by the use of lace fabric and we incorporated it in our clutch purse design. The elegant decoration makes the purses look delicate, classic, gentle yet trendy. The collection includes 'Midi and Petite' handbags from our 'Deluxe' range.

Step out looking charming, elegant and feeling sophisticated. Dress Responsibly!!!

How to clean your mSimps mBranti3 'Charlies'

mSimps wants to say a big thank you to all who have and are yet to purchase our mBranti3 'Charlies'. Knowing how you love your slippers, we decided to bring you some tips on how to care for them.

The ‘charlies’ are made of leather and patched with Africa print fabric. 

TIP 1: How to clean fabric

Use a damp cotton cloth dipped in a solution of very mild detergent to gently  bloat the fabric area and rub over it. After,use the damp cotton cloth dipped in clean water and rub over the fabric. This will take out the detergent.

For the leather part, brush over it with a little amount of shoe polish (depending on the colour of the leather;black or tan).

Go through this step and you will have your mBranti3 'Charlies' looking as lovely as the first day it was purchased.

Tip 2: How to clean White leather

Bought an mBranti3 'Charlies'  made of white leather? Here is how to clean it. 

Dip a piece of cotton wool in nail polish remover. Rub it over the leather and allow to dry. 

It's as simple as that.
