IN SHORT
Engineer and craftsman Mamadou Aliou Diallo is always breaking the rules, managing his business innovatively while applying traditional knowhow. Taking on the advice of his brother to enter the world
of textiles in 2012, Mamadou himself built the looms they use to sell genuine Guinean crafts around the world. Six years later, he launched his own brand. Tokkora is 100% made in Guinea – a worthy ambassador of the country and its founder’s passion.
