Sevaria
Sevaria is a contemporary fashion brand redefining the lines between menswear and womenswear, with subtle, confident notes of androgyny woven throughout its collections.
At its heart, Sevaria is a celebration of Kenyan heritage — an exploration of Afro-nostalgia, where culture, tradition, and identity meet bold modern design. The brand places a strong emphasis on textiles and texture, working with handwoven fabrics that honour traditional craftsmanship. Sustainability is at the heart of Sevaria’s ethos, with upcycled materials sourced from second-hand markets being reimagined into one-of-a-kind pieces that tell a story.
Founded by designer Jamie Bryan Kimani, Sevaria draws inspiration from his upbringing in Kiserian, Kenya. His work reflects the rich cultural influences of the Maasai, sub-religious groups such as the Akorino, and his lived experiences — all while confidently challenging gender stereotypes. For Jamie, fashion is storytelling, and every garment is a chapter in that narrative.
Sevaria is proud to be part of the British Council’s Creative DNA initiative, which supports emerging African designers through mentorship and international exposure.
