From Africa, to the World
NIneteen60 is a house of African ritual, flavor and sensuality.
Botanical body care, heritage spices, heirloom teas, and cultural objects. Crafted not for the shelf, but for the soul. Our goods are born from ancestral rhythms and the quiet genius of everyday African life, offering a sensory bridge between heritage and modernity.
Every scent, every taste, every texture is intentional
An invitation to slow down, to remember, and to return.
Our Story
The Origin & Purpose
NINETEEN60 began with a simple yet essential question:
What if the essence of home could be felt in the everyday moments of your life?
Our purpose is to bridge the gap between heritage and modernity, between memory and ritual by creating goods that challenge how African products are seen in the world and reconnect us to our roots, wherever we are.
The Craft
Our answer lives in the scents, textures, and flavors that connect you to a slower, richer way of living.
Each piece is crafted with reverence, infused with sensory detail, and made to be felt, from suya rubs passed down through generations to oils pressed in village cooperatives.
The Why
We believe daily rituals can be acts of beauty, pleasure, and legacy.
We are bridging the richness of the past with the possibilities of the present.

Our Mission
To honor African tradition while creating space for it in the modern world.
Every item we make, whether for body, table, or home, is inspired by ancestral practices, reimagined with intention, and designed to reconnect you to yourself and your heritage. This is culture, made tangible.
We don’t chase trends. We preserve meaning.
Our name pays homage to Nigeria’s year of independence: 1960.
This moment marked not only political freedom, but cultural self-definition. It captures the spirit of our work, independent, rooted, unapologetic.
We are born of the diaspora, shaped by migration, and connected to all who seek beauty with meaning. Through our work, we honor where we come from and offer it, elegantly, to the world.
Our Commitment
To the Continent
We source directly from artisans, growers, and cooperatives across Africa, investing in regenerative practices and smallholder economies.
To Quality
We don’t rush. We don’t cut corners. Our goods are lab-tested, cruelty-free, and made in small batches for maximum potency and integrity.
To Culture
Every product begins with a story. Every collection is an ode. We are not a trend. We are a continuation.
To the Earth
We minimize waste, use recyclable materials, and work toward circular design wherever possible.
Every purchase supports community, tradition, and the craft of generations.
