ABOUT

KAYADUA is a Ghanaian-based ready-to-wear fashion brand creating contemporary designs inspired by traditional African textiles. Our collections celebrate cultural heritage, timeless elegance, a dedication to ethical production and celebrating the greatness of womanhood. Founded by Eyiwaa Agyekumhene, a designer with a deep passion for textile


Initially launched as an accessory brand in 2018, KAYADUA evolved into ready-to-wear fashion with the release of its first clothing collection in 2021. The brand pays homage to Ghana’s cultural heritage while inspiring a new generation to embrace creativity and self-expression. Staying true to its values, KAYADUA donated 10% of proceeds from the HOME Collection in 2023 to a mentorship and skills acquisition program for young girls through SEWING (Sankofa Empowering Women in Ghana), a women’s organization under PeaceJam.

At the heart of KAYADUA is a deep appreciation for Ghanaian traditional cloth-making techniques, particularly the intricate art of kente weaving and other Indigenous textiles. Each collection reimagines these traditional patterns and fabrics in ways that resonate with modern, powerful, and influential women. Our pieces are not just garments—they are stories woven into every thread, connecting the past with the present. 

We are proud to partner with local artisans and textile producers, not only to give back to our community but also to learn how we can preserve these techniques in modern times.


KAYADUA explores the relationship between self-expression and strength, honouring heritage while inspiring women to lead confidently and authentically. Through our pieces, we weave together stories of the past with the spirit of the present, creating timeless fashion for powerful women everywhere.
 

Our pieces have been featured in Vogue, Michaela Coel for Variety, Grazia UK, I-D, Courier Media, Ellefr, OE Magazine, and other leading magazines.

Our current stockists include; Elle Lokko - Accra, Bona Drag - North America, and Jens.Stock.Composition - Japan, Melona - North Carolina, Online shop Wade Store - Paris, Moja Kobe - Japan, Fuggiamo - Los Angeles, Bymadre - Los Angeles.

VISION FOR KAYADUA

As KAYADUA grows, our mission remains the same: to honour African heritage while redefining global fashion standards. With plans to expand our international reach, we aim to bring the artistry of Ghanaian textiles to a wider audience while maintaining our unwavering commitment to ethical production.
