Vendor Biography

My name is Mariama Sandra Mustapha.I am a Sierra Leonean crochet designer based in the Netherlands. Crocheting has always been part of me even as a child, as
a only daughter with 3 brothers around
me, it was one of the things that kept me busy while my brothers were busy with boys things. I cheerfully made lots of colourful outfits, bags and other
accessories during my summer vacations to keep me busy, however I didn’t continue to crochet- not until 2018 when I got motived by my aunty to crochet a shawl for myself and that was how Mihankushea was born.
Before officially starting Mihankushea in 2019,1 discovered that the crochet
community was bigger than I thought
and I was super excited to be part of it,
however I knew I had to bring something different, giving I am on the thicker and curvier side. i wanted to create a brand sexy and fashionable handmade crochet clothes can be and items that can be worn by all body shape and sizes.
