AAKS

Akosua Afryie-Kumi grew up in Ghana using basket bags for everything. She often found herself thinking of ways these bags could be improved, and coming from a family of entrepreneurs she soon found herself exploring raffia as a material to make her own basket bags. Using this organic, natural, renewable and biodegradable material made perfect sense and AAKS was born, introducing the world to traditional Ghanaian weaving techniques while also creating sustainable jobs in Africa.

Akosua is connected to every stage of the design and production process to oversee and ensure that the end result is imbued with the spirit and soul worthy of the A A K S stamp.
