The Story Behind Asime

Asime emerged from a desire to bridge the gap between Africa’s rich resources and the global marketplace. Recognizing that many of the world’s most cherished products have their roots traced back to African soil, yet major African brands remain underrepresented on US shelves, Asime is on a mission to bridge that gap. We are eagerly carving out space for African artisans and entrepreneurs to not only supply raw materials to middlemen but also to sell their finished products to the US consumer who has refined preferences and a heart for making a difference.

​

At the heart of Asime is a commitment to delivering not just goods, but a piece of Africa’s rich culture in every product—through natural, ethically-sourced treasures such as shea butter, black soap, aromatic coffee, and more, each sourced with integrity directly from their origins. By forging deep partnerships with local artisans and small businesses, Asime isn’t just a store; it’s a community advocate, ensuring that every purchase supports sustainable growth and empowerment within the diaspora of African communities.

​

As Asime continues to grow, so does our dedication to unveiling Africa’s role in shaping global tastes and perceptions about quality and craftsmanship. We invite you to join us on this journey, to explore our carefully curated selection online, and to immerse yourself in the Asime experience, where every product tells a story of transformation and the vibrant spirit of Africa’s natural bounty.
