Letโ€™s get started!

You Oughta Know: Maria Paulina

Maria Paulina is THE destination for exotic and elevated African-print apparel. ย Crafted specifically for todayโ€™s plus size women, these gorgeous garments are constructed with premium-stretch materials and imbued with amazingly modern African-print designs.

If you love kente, ankara or other fashions with a bit of Motherland appeal, Maria Paulina is for you!

Maria Paulinaโ€™s creator, Ana, created the brand as a way to always connect with, andย pay tribute to herย elders. For their grace, elegance, and their embodiment of loveโ€ฆ It was their influence that comes forth in the designs.

Born in the coastal regions of West Central Africa my childhood was imbued in the rich, vibrant colors of the continent as was most notably impressed upon me by my grandmothers, (Avos) Maria & Paulina who exclusively dressed in the most ethereal, exciting, & vibrant African-Print garments. Ana Toomer

Coming from this rich culture of love, life and traditional, ย it is no surprise that the foundation of the Maria Paulina label is the same African-Print style of dress that so vividly inspired Ana.

Taking the energy, inspiration and essence of her grandmotherโ€™s keen sense of style, she created Maria Paulina to bring her Avosโ€™ fashioning for curvy women today.

My hope is that you too will be just as captivated, charmed, and comforted by our signature styles.

As someone who believes we stand on the shoulders of our ancestors, I can get behind Anaโ€™s story 1000%.

I love the fact that her grandmothers were so strongly in her mind, heart and spirit when creating her brand, and I love thinking that by rocking these afro chic garments, we are helping her honor them.

Her designs are dramatic, fun, and are definitely head turners! You do not have to be of African descent to appreciate these fashions, and ranging in sizes 14-24 curvy girls all over have an opportunity to adorn ourselves in these designs.

This is why you oughta know Maria Paulina!

Let usย know which look was YOUR favorite in the comments! If you scored something from the brand at last yearโ€™s TCFStyle Expo, tell us all about it!
