You know I‘m a lover of my heritage, which is why I just had to do a spotlight on the incredible Ankara On Brand.
Who are they?
AOB is a UK-based brand, founded by Nina Amoo, which specialises in creating powerful contemporary womenswear using traditional African Ankara print. All of products are made with love for people and the planet.
The AOB capsule collection harnesses the power of the African diaspora to create fashion for modern women. Their take on traditional Ankara pays homage to the rich tradition of African print in contemporary styles that fit seamlessly into everyday wardrobes.
Eco-luxe, transeasonal, and affordable, their designs honour and empower all body types. They are investment pieces made to transcend trends and be treasured for a lifetime. African heritage meets modernity in beautifully transformative prints that you’ll want to wear again and again.
Now here’s the icing on the cake for me, AOB is all about small, slow, and sustainable fashion. They use digital printing to save on dye, end-of-roll materials destined for landfill, and plant-based fabrics wherever possible. They also use pre-order windows to reduce waste but it only took less than a week to receive my items.
Their pieces are seasonless, multifunctional and can be restyled and repurposed in several different ways to keep things fresh allowing for longevity in your wardrobe.
Buyers can receive a generous 15% off their first order, so have a look and take advantage of this steal!
