Description
AAKS is a brand that embraces the rich weaving traditions of Ghana to create unique and vibrant handcrafted handbags. Founded by Akosua Afriyie-Kumi, AAKS aims to showcase the exquisite craftsmanship of Ghanaian women and promote ethical production processes and sustainable consumption in the fashion world. Each AAKS handbag is meticulously handcrafted in Ghana and designed to preserve the art of weaving while incorporating the bold and colorful essence of Africa.
The brand's design philosophy revolves around three core pillars: a focus on craftsmanship, an unwavering commitment to ethical and sustainable values, and the creation of high-quality, limited-edition pieces that defy mass production. Every AAKS collection presents a distinctive silhouette that tells a unique story through its intricate details, vibrant colors, and captivating shapes. Akosua is personally involved in every aspect of the design and production process, ensuring that each handbag reflects the spirit and soul that define the AAKS stamp.
Using ecologically harvested raffia sourced from family farmers in Ghana, AAKS champions the use of natural fibers and emphasizes handcraftsmanship, resulting in one-of-a-kind bags that showcase individuality and beauty. The brand's commitment to sustainability extends to repurposing scraps for smaller bags and accessories. Since its launch in 2014, AAKS has gained recognition as an emerging designer from Africa, garnering features in prestigious publications such as Vogue, Elle Decoration, and CNN.
With over 60 stockists worldwide, including Anthropologie, Bloomingdales, and Nordstrom, AAKS continues to captivate fashion enthusiasts with its exquisite handcrafted creations
