AAKS was founded by Ghanaian designer Akosua Afriyie-Kumi with a vision to bring Ghana’s rich weaving traditions to a wider audience. Working closely with local artisans, she created a brand that celebrates the women behind the craft while creating contemporary pieces rooted in Ghanaian heritage. Today, AAKS continues to support traditional weaving, fair working practices and the communities that keep the craft alive.
