Mara Ruvuma - Lifestyle Brand That Merges Style and Substance

THE "I LOVE UGALI" COLLECTION

The founders of Mara+Ruvuma brand LOVE ugali - the African meal staple of a cooked grain starch, tuber or fruit that's paired with savory sauces! And we know that all of our Diaspora friends love their ‘ugali’ too. Found in all corners of the world but wearing a different name, wherever you find Africans, there too you will find an ‘ugali’ - the beloved canvas for the African culinary experience!

Whether you call yours FUFU, INJERA, GRITS, EBA, SADZA, BANKU, POSHO, PAP, or any of the myriad other names* for it - we dare you to wear it, share it and eat it with pride.

*asida, funchi, tonmtonm, mofongo, sima, soor, etc.
