About Afropenda

Afropenda – Faith. Culture. Affirmation. Loungewear BY Us, FOR Us.Afropenda is a Black woman-owned loungewear brand creating comfortable, stylish clothing designed specifically for Black women aged 45 and up. Founded in 2020 by Lena—a size 16 former Lane Bryant marketing professional—Afropenda was born from a simple frustration: Why couldn't she find loungewear that fit her curves, honored her culture, AND expressed her faith? Instead of waiting for someone else to figure it out, she built it herself.Every piece at Afropenda is crafted around three pillars: Faith (wearable scripture that grounds you in truth), Culture (designs that celebrate who we are, unapologetically), and Affirmation (words that remind you of your worth when the world forgets). This isn't just clothing—it's a statement. It's armor. It's finally being SEEN.Our signature hoodie dresses combine the comfort of your favorite hoodie with the coverage and femininity of a dress. Made from premium scuba fabric that's soft, durable, and wrinkle-resistant, each piece features thoughtful details like oversized hoods designed to accommodate natural hair and protective styles. Available in sizes XS through 5XL, our sizing is true to fit—no guessing, no surprises, no "plus-friendly" options that were clearly an afterthought.Afropenda serves women who've spent decades showing up for everyone else and are finally ready to show up for themselves. Women with curves who refuse to choose between comfortable and cute. Women who want their faith visible, their culture celebrated, and their bodies honored—all at the same time.This brand wasn't created in a corporate boardroom. It was built by a Black woman who understands your body because she lives in one just like it. Who knows the frustration of hoods too small for your hair. Who experienced firsthand what it feels like to walk into stores and feel invisible.Whether you're lounging at home, running errands, meeting friends for brunch, or simply wanting to feel wrapp

Slow shipping, leggings need pockets
I ordered on a whim. I love the fabrics and dress styles. I knew I wasn't going to get next day, but it ended up taking more than a month to receive. The tracking was terrible. The product is GREAT! I only wish the leggings had pockets!

Quality, beauty, and fit
Beautiful, quality stuff. The add I saw looked too good to be true, but I placed an order anyway. The sizing instructions were the best I've seen. I actually placed a second order before I received my first order. I received my first order today, and I love the fit, comfort, pockets, all of it! They have new Holiday beauties that I won't be able to resist! I'll probably need a 2nd job now because I'm hooked. 5 stars doesn't seem like enough.

SCAM!!!
SCAM!!! Do not get sucked in. Dresses are claimed to be of high material and made with care. They sre cheap polyester dresses that look nothing like the photos. What should have been a beautiful dress for a special ocassion was a flimsy, poorly patches together piece of clothing that will never be worn in public. Pattern or the fabric looks like it was cut out and assembled in the dark. Seams are poorly joined, rough, nd scratchy. Order took nearly a month to be recieved. And thanks to their return pilicies it would cost more to send it back than i paid and i would only get store credit. It is all lies. Stores description and high ranking of site like this are perpetuating the scam

Unique Dresses
I've bought 6 dresses from Afropenda, and I love them all! I have received many compliments and request asking where I bought the dress. Lena is a great person to work with too!!

Look. At. the. Measurements.
I bought the dress in a L and the shirt in a M based on the measurements and they fit great! Unfortunately I am still working and the shirts are great for my work as a PT as they 1) aren't tight on my sport utility model arms and 2) long enough to modestly cover my butt, even when I raise my arms. The colors and prints are so vibrant and fun the hardest part was deciding on which ones to get.

When I first got the Dresses
When I first got the Dresses, I bought 3, I wasn't very impressed until I tried them on. OMG, they are amazing, not only do they look spectacular and everyone loves them but also they are super confortable. I wear them with nice shoes and jewelry and it looks very chic. I wear them with sandals and they look casual. They really are amazing and the personalized service I received from Lena, the CEO, is very touching to know that she is on top of every step of the way.
