About Belange Handmade (BHM)
Belange Handmade (BHM) is a contemporary private design label created for women who want clothing that feels like a tropical paradise. Founded in 2014 by designer Belange Mutunda in the Democratic Republic of Congo, BHM began with a single handmade piece born from creativity and determination. What started small has grown into a slow fashion movement that celebrates heritage while embracing modern style.
Most of our designs draw inspiration from the lush fauna and flora of the Democratic Republic of Congo, blending these natural influences with African heritage and Western trends to create contemporary pieces that are bold, feminine, and timeless. With vibrant colors, flowing silhouettes, and versatile designs, BHM empowers women to express their individuality with confidence. Each garment is intentionally crafted to outlast fleeting trends, offering beauty and durability that reflect the values of slow fashion.
As a private label, BHM is committed to authenticity, ethical sourcing, and sustainable practices. We believe fashion should be aspirational yet accessible, giving every woman the chance to experience clothing that honors culture, empowers identity, and brings joy.
Today, BHM stands as a reminder that heritage and innovation can coexist, that sustainability and style can thrive together, and that every woman’s closet should be filled with designs that inspire.
Bringing joy into every woman’s closet, one design at a time.
