Meet Our Team
We work closely with small batik and sewing studios in and around Greater Accra to produce our hand dyed garments.
Batik
We work with Juliana Mustapha and her team of 3 assistants for our main production. She is located in Kasoa, a village an hour from Accra. We bring our print designs to the batik studio and in collaboration with Juliana we create the final print and colouring. In a studio in Accra Arts Centre we work together with Victor and his team for smaller productions like the limited Peace bag.
Sewing
For the sewing of the women garments we contracted with LiEM Creations in Tse-Addo. The owner of the place is Emilia and she has 5 female seamstresses as employees. Emilia is also teaching students all the ins and outs for sewing techniques and pattern making. Our unisex and men garments are made in a small studio in Kwashieman. Desmond is our main tailor there, assisted by 2 other tailors.
