ADOM — in development

The Founding Collection

Our first line is being designed now: indigo tones, brass fastenings and hems cut long enough to move. Prototypes are revealed to the list first.

Our Story

Woven from Heritage.

GYƐ began with a length of cloth and a question: what would it look like to dress for a modern life without setting down what Ghana already knows about cloth?

We are building the house now, between Maryland and Ghana — developing patterns, sourcing handwoven cloth, and looking for the weavers, casters and tailors we want to work with. We will name them here as each is confirmed.

What we are setting out to make is modest, unhurried and built to be worn for years — a boubou you keep, not a season you replace.

Where to Begin

Craftsmanship — our standards

The Hand Is the Signature

Four commitments we are building the house around. None of them are in production yet; each will be documented here as it becomes real.

  • Handwoven cloth from Ghana

    The intention is narrow-loom strip cloth sourced from Ghanaian weavers. We are still building those relationships and will name them here as they are set.

  • Natural dyes

    We are working toward indigo and other natural dye processes rather than printed imitations of them.

  • Cast brass

    Fastenings are planned in cast brass, filed and finished by hand rather than plated. Casting partners are not yet confirmed.

  • Finished by name

    When production begins, we want every garment to carry the name of the person who finished it.

Visual direction — Harmattan Light

Long Shadows, Open Weaves

Reference imagery for the mood we are designing toward. The first GYƐ campaign will be photographed once the collection exists.

Made to Order — coming with the first release

Cut to Your Measurements

Made-to-measure is central to what GYƐ will offer, especially longer hems for tall wearers. The service is not open yet — this is how we plan for it to work.

  1. 01

    Tell us what you want made

    Made-to-order opens with the first release. Share the garment or reference now and we will come to you when the service is live.

  2. 02

    Cloth, once sourcing is set

    We are building relationships with Ghanaian weavers and cloth suppliers. Swatch options will be published as each is confirmed.

  3. 03

    Measurements

    The plan is eight measurements, taken at home with a soft tape, with length confirmed against your shoe height.

  4. 04

    Cut and finish

    Timelines will be published once production is running. Nothing is charged until we can commit to a date in writing.
