Elegance Defined: Akakpo’s ‘Adinkra’ Collection Takes Ghanaian Heritage Global

[articletop]

The accessory brand “Akakpo” has forged a partnership with creative minds in Ghana to capture the essence of their new “Adinkra” collection. Jewelry, serving as an invaluable accessory, provides the final flourish to one’s appearance, solidifying their fashion sensibility and style. In the world of fashion, which serves as a potent form of expression, Ebenezer Akakpo, the founder of the opulent accessory brand “Akakpo,” based in Portland, was inspired to craft exquisite jewelry pieces. This collection encompasses a wide array of wide cuffs, slender bangles, and dangling earrings, all adorned with the profound traditional Ghanaian symbols known as “Adinkra.” Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these symbols encapsulate some of the most profound concepts in the Ghanaian Akan language, including hope, unity, bravery, friendship, abundance, and divine spirituality.

The brand’s core mission is to harness the power of Ghana’s heritage through “Adinkra” symbols to address global issues while simultaneously paying homage to Ghanaian culture. Their latest collection, named “Abena” in honor of the founder’s mother, presents an array of exquisite and distinctive artistic jewelry pieces meticulously crafted from wood and brass.

To breathe life into the “Abena” collection, Akakpo embarked on a collaborative journey with extraordinary creatives based in Ghana. The production and creative direction were masterfully overseen by Titus Doku, complemented by the impeccable photography of Jhoe Sey, the artful styling by Gakpe, the selection of outfits sourced from FashionGHANA.shop, the skillful makeup artistry of Pencybeautyhub, and the charismatic presence of models Abigail Serwaa Ofori (Confidencemodels), Celine Yehoda Okaitei, Kwame Darko, and Charles Taylor.

Below, we invite you to feast your eyes on the captivating visuals that showcase the exquisite beauty of the “Abena” collection.
