WEAR Ghana was co-founded by friends and university roommates Awura Abena Agyeman (left) & Angorkor Nai-Kwade (right). The pair were passionate about fashion and freedom, and dreamt of using it as a tool to contribute to the development of their community and elicit pride in Ghana-made products. While everyone else was shopping common, overpriced, boutique looks, they were two young ladies creating a style that represented The New African. In 2013, they quit their jobs in banking and telecommunications to focus on this dream… and WEAR Ghana was born.
Throughout their long-standing partnership, Awura Abena and Angorkor have continuously complemented and pushed each other, resulting in covetable pieces in beautiful fabrics, memorable prints, and bold colors. After a lot of trial and error and a decade of learning & relearning, they’ve inspired a perfection of the standout GIGI collection: a unisex and stylish collection that encapsulates the magic of the people who wear them. Today, WEAR Ghana is made up of a team of young African enthusiasts focused on achieving world-class standards and global significance.
