Waza Marbella – The Art of Light and Cultural Fusion

Waza Marbella is a Franco-African brand founded by Nathalie, originally from Cameroon.
Inspired by the richness of the African continent and the softness of the Mediterranean lifestyle, the brand embodies cultural fusion, light, and refined elegance, through creations filled with meaning and emotion.

Born in Marbella, in Andalusia, Waza Marbella takes its name from the Waza National Park, located in the far north of Cameroon — a place symbolizing freedom, beauty, and untamed harmony.
Each collection pays tribute to Africa in all its diversity, blending artisanal craftsmanship, contemporary aesthetics, and cultural poetry.

After nearly ten years in Finance, Nathalie chose to give new meaning to her journey:
a return to her roots, a bridge between cultures, and a desire to shine a different light on Africa — through fashion, culture, and art de vivre.

Today, Waza Marbella stands as a luminous and multicultural maison, where every detail tells a story and evokes a sensory journey between nature, culture, and refinement.

About Nathalie — Founder of Waza Marbella

Nathalie was born in Douala, Cameroon, to a Bamiléké father and a Basa’a mother.
She moved to Paris in 2001, where she began her career within major international groups, including KPMG, Compagnie de Saint-Gobain, TF1, Deloitte, and Société Générale as a KYC Analyst.
In 2015, she joined BNP Paribas in Geneva as a Due Diligence Officer, further strengthening her expertise in financial compliance and international environments.

In 2017, Nathalie chose to take a new path.
Driven by a profound desire to reconnect with her heritage, she decided to invest everything she had into pursuing a dream: bringing meaning to her life by celebrating what resonates most deeply with her — Africa, its roots and culture, its colors and scents, its energy and poetry.

This vision later gave birth to Waza Marbella, a luminous, multicultural maison that bridges continents and tells stories through light, beauty, and craftsmanship.
