Welcome to Akhu Designs! Bringing you the Vibrance of Africa
The aim of this shop is to educate the masses about the beauty,vibrance and versatility of Ankara (African Fabrics) through different mediums.

At present my shop stocks turbans and a few fashion items. In the future I hope to add a vanity range, bag range and some stationary items.
Thanks for looking!
Most people when asked about Ankara will mention the flamboyant costumes worn by African women to Weddings, Church and other functions.
However Ankara are much more diverse than that and can be used for most things in our everyday lives.
Through my designs I hope to illustrate this and to draw people in to the beauty of African Fabrics particularly those who would never have considered it before...

Additional policies and FAQs

PLEASE NOTE: From July 1st 2020 there will be a sizeable increase in the cost of postage to the USA.
This is due to a drastic increase in the prices the USPS are charging for the 'last mile' delivery of International parcels. I apologise for any disappointment or inconvenience these new changes may cause to my U.S. customers. I value your support and custom and will endeavour to do my best to find an alternative postal service that will enable me to reduce the prices in the future. Many thanks,
