Collection: Reserve in Africa 1934

This isn't a story about nature standing still. It's about nature that is profound, vibrant, almost unreal. Wildflowers in impossible colors. Light so dazzling it seems surreal. Nights so dark they overwhelm the senses. Nature that one doesn't just admire: one feels deeply. It is this emotion that inspired Étienne and Valeria to create Réserve en Afrique.

In 1934, Étienne's grandfather arrived in Senegal from the Levant, seeking a better life. That same year, a nearby forest became a protected reserve. His family stayed there and worked for decades to preserve it.

Based in Dakar, Étienne and Valeria share this sensitivity to nature and its olfactory stories, and bring Réserve to life in Africa.
