AFIA
Friday's Wanderer in Cloth
Afia, a name among the Akan people in Ghana meaning "born on Friday," carries the spirit of a wanderer and traveller. Don't be surprised if she unexpectedly pops up at your door. You can recognise her by her carefree Rasta hairdo and vibrant matching skirt and top. But be cautious, for Afia is mischievous, slipping in and out with ease.
Handcrafted by Afghan women refugees using waste fabric, Afia embodies not only cultural significance but also supports a sustainable income for her creators. She represents the spirit of wanderlust and the joy of unexpected encounters. Afia, the embodiment of adventure, brings playful energy wherever she roams, celebrating the beauty of cultural diversity and economic empowerment.
