A A K S has announced the launch of its luxury ethical accessories range. Created by Ghanaian fashion designer Akosua Afriyie-Kumi, the fashion label produces raffia bags handmade by a women’s cooperative in Bolgatanga, northern Ghana. Using skills and techniques that are unique to this part of Ghana, craftsmanship is at the foundation of this luxury brand. Using ethical processes and age-old craft traditions, it takes approximately one week to complete a handbag. Each bag bears the finger prints of the person who created it and comes with a signature tag to prove authenticity. After interning and working with fashion designers such as Peter Pilotto, Matthew Williamson and William Tempest in London, Akosua embarked on her own path in 2013 to set up A A K S in Ghana.
