Pan African Sophistication: Each item celebrates heritage while incorporating contemporary elements to present a tale of Pan African sophistication. To further honor Akosua's Asante heritage, each piece has kente labels that are hand woven and stamped in Kumasi.
International Cooperation: Akosua's voyage from Ghana's Adansi Praso, Dompoase, and Kumasi to New York is evidence of the brand's influence on a worldwide scale, but she doesn't stop there. With the introduction of a limited edition graphic white tee dubbed the "hip-hop T-shirt," Akosua has elevated this line even more. This classic vintage shirt pays homage to American hip-hop fashion from the 1980s and 90s while showcasing African music that popularized modern afrobeats. It has graffiti and a typographic image of Africa. The social enterprise wants to collaborate with other Ghanaian groups to empower adolescents via the use of modern afrobeats and to promote both traditional and modern art cultures. International and local collaborations result in a collection that is cross-border.
