Founded in 2025 in the heart of Portland, Oregon, DUKA PDX is more than an online marketplace—it’s a community bridge, proudly rooted in the Rose City. Our mission is simple: to cultivate a vibrant, local ecosystem that celebrates and shares the profound richness of African cultures. We are passionately committed to serving Portland clients with direct access to authentic, high-quality African goods, from stunning textiles and flavorful foods to inspiring travel experiences.

But our story is uniquely Portland. We are equally dedicated to empowering Portland-based African vendors, artisans, and entrepreneurs. DUKA PDX provides a dynamic digital platform for our local community creators to showcase their crafts, tell their stories, and grow their businesses. Every purchase you make is a direct investment in our city’s incredible cultural tapestry and supports the dreams of your neighbors.

We believe in connection—connecting Portland to heritage, tradition, and innovation. We are your local gateway to the continent, curated by and for the people of Portland. Welcome to DUKA PDX, where every product has a story, and every story strengthens our community.
