About COCOLILI

Born from a deep love for Africa and a desire to tell our stories through fabric and design, COCOLILI is a contemporary African lifestyle brand that celebrates bold prints, vibrant colors, and intentional living. Founded by Furaha Bishota, a seasoned finance professional turned creative entrepreneur, COCOLILI began as a passion project, a response to the absence of contemporary African fashion that speaks to both heritage and everyday elegance. US-born with roots in East Africa and global exposure, Furaha dreamed of building a brand that not only reflected the beauty and richness of her African culture but also empowered the people behind the products. We believe fashion should be joyful, ethical, and empowering. When you stock COCOLILI, you’re not only bringing bold, sustainable designs into your store, you’re joining a movement. We are on a bold mission to educate 1 million young African girls by 2030. Through the COCOLILI Education Fund, 10% of every net sale is dedicated to supporting underprivileged girls and refugees, giving them access to education and opportunity. By choosing COCOLILI, your wholesale order doesn’t just fill shelves; it changes lives. You’re helping to build a creative ecosystem that uplifts entire communities. COCOLILI is rooted in slow fashion, not mass production. With deep respect for the environment and awareness of waste in the textile industry, we produce in small batches, ensuring every piece reflects quality and sustainability. Read their story
