We were so excited to become familiar with the bold creations of Be Dogon at this past JA New York Special Delivery show! Crafted in horn, bone, ebony and sterling silver, the collection was initially born out of the designer’s passion for African dance, which she began practicing as a teenager, and which led her to embrace other aspects of African culture. With a commitment to eco-sustainability, designer Be Diem Nguyen Domingo is also proud to be able to provide better-than-average-wage employment to the multitude of artisans with whom she works.
