ABOUT TALES
TALES (The African Lifestyle Experience) by Bellafricana is more than an event, it’s a movement sparking a global appreciation for the richness of African creativity, innovation, and cultural heritage.
First launched in London, TALES is a showcase of Africa’s finest in fashion, art, beauty, food, music, and lifestyle. It brings together trailblazing creative entrepreneurs, cultural tastemakers, and global changemakers in one space, designed to celebrate, connect, and elevate.
What makes TALES unique is its heart: the story behind every creation. From hand-crafted garments to age-old recipes, from art installations to beauty rituals, every experience at TALES reveals the depth, brilliance, and soul of Africa’s diverse cultures.
With over 70 brands expected in 2025, TALES continues to grow, introducing new formats like fireside chats, live creative experiences, and community-led activations. This year’s theme, “Rediscovered and Re-source”, invites us to dig deeper, into our heritage, into our creativity, and into the power of building from within.
And this is just the beginning. TALES is on a mission to take the African lifestyle experience to cities around the world, opening new markets, forging meaningful connections, and rewriting the global narrative about African creativity.
Whether you’re a fashion lover, art enthusiast, conscious shopper, or simply curious — TALES is your invitation to see Africa, feel Africa, and celebrate Africa like never before.
