Our Story

AKWAMAN is a socially responsible Dutch streetwear label, ethically made by artisans in Accra, Ghana.

Our story begins in Ghana. A country with an inspiring soul, bright colours & beautiful fabrics. With the inspiration of the Ghanaian Culture, we combine the style of the streets of Ghana and the Western world.

The clothing we make together with the makers are made with fair trade agreements. The fabric we use is 100% cotton and wax printed with original Kente prints from the Akan Tribe in South Ghana.

AKWAMAN is founded by Jetske & Ekwele. We started AKWAMAN in 2017 after we met in Ghana. We combined our experience and passion for fashion, ethical principles and human rights and AKWAMAN was born.
