Evonne Opoku

AFROTHREADS promotes authentic African textiles worldwide. In addition to sourcing fabrics that are designed and printed on the continent, I bring awareness to handwoven and hand-dyed textiles, their cultural significance, and the local artisans who make them.

Some of my fabrics can be ordered straight from Africa—quickly and affordably! I also help customers find talented tailors and seamstresses in order to get a custom outfit made.

My goal is to preserve culture and celebrate creativity and collaboration.
