About Akrasiboutique

Inspired by 50/60’s African fashion nostalgia, yet quintessentially British with a London accent, akrasiboutique was born from the desire to create unique hair and clothing accessories that are quirky, classic and stylish. Akrasi is a zero waste design boutique. I source distinctive and colourful textiles from remnants and exclusive african wax prints mixed with vintage finds, copper, brass, silver, bronze and glass to produce one of kind accessories. The traditional costumes of Ghana are not just beautiful. Ghana’s ancient heritage and culture influence the designs, fabrics, intricate patterns and have been used by Ghanaians for centuries as they carry the old knowledge and tradition. Alongside this, because these textiles are created using printed wax technique the colour remains lively, doesn't fade and brightens the tone for all. These products are made using a combination of hand stitching, sewing machine and I’ve been influenced by the Japanese 'kanzashi' style to create the flowers. This season features a range of exclusive items to complete your outfit ranging from headband ties, bun ties, clips and brooches to shoe tags, cufflinks and pocket squares.Read their story
