AAKS Bags in Africa Fashion Exhibition at Australia’s Oldest Museum, NGV
I'm thrilled to share that our AAKS bags are now featured in the prestigious ‘Africa Fashion’ exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), Australia’s oldest and most renowned museum. This recognition is a significant achievement for our brand, placing our ethically made, artisanal bags in the spotlight at one of the world’s leading cultural institutions.
The Africa Fashion exhibition at the NGV is a landmark exhibition that celebrates the creativity, ingenuity, and global impact of contemporary African fashions from the mid-twentieth century to the present day. As part of this extraordinary exhibition, AAKS bags are highlighted for their vibrant colours, sustainable materials, and the traditional weaving techniques that define our brand. This exhibition provides a global platform for selected African designers to share their stories with an international audience.
For me, our handcrafted bags are more than just fashion accessories—they are pieces of art. Each bag is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans in Ghana using locally sourced raffia. The unique designs and colour palettes reflect the beauty and resilience of African craftsmanship. Being featured in the Africa Fashion exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria underscores the global appeal of our designs and the importance of sustainable, ethically made products in today’s fashion industry.
If you’re in Melbourne, I invite you to visit the Africa Fashion exhibition, running until 6th October 2024. You can also explore and purchase a wide selection of our AAKS bags at the NGV Design Store , while experiencing the vibrant essence of African fashion. I truly appreciate your ongoing support and look forward to sharing more of our journey together.
