Not Just “Inspired”: 5 Things That Make Our Products Actually African
Let’s talk facts, not fabrications.
There’s been a major rise in “African-inspired” brands — vibrant prints, catchy names, and Afro-centric vibes. But here’s the truth most won’t tell you: many of those products? Not actually made in Africa.
At Afriprint (formerly Aloha Glamour), we don’t just borrow the culture — we are the culture. Our mission is simple: to deliver heirloom-quality fashion that’s deeply rooted in African soil, sewn with Ghanaian hands, and soaked in real heritage.
Here are 5 reasons why our pieces are the real deal:
1. 🇬🇭 Made in Ghana — Start to Finish
From our fans to our headwraps to our one-of-a-kind bags, every product is handcrafted in Ghana by local artisans — not outsourced, not mass-produced. You're not just buying a “look.” You're investing in a real maker, a real village, a real legacy.
2. 🧵 Designed With Traditional West African Prints
We don’t chase trends — we honor tradition. Our prints are chosen for their cultural significance and storytelling power. You’ll find Adinkra symbols, Kente inspirations, and region-specific patterns that mean something.
You’re not just wearing a pattern — you’re carrying a piece of history.
3. 💪🏽 Supports Women + Local Artisans Directly
Take Janet B. for example — a single mom in Teshie, Ghana, who crafts many of our pieces. Your purchase pays her fairly, supports her daughter’s education, and gives her access to a better life. We don’t just hire artisans — we build relationships.
4. 🧘🏾♀️ Culturally Grounded, Not Commercialized
Our brand isn’t trying to make Africa palatable for the masses. We’re not shrinking the boldness or muting the melanin. From the product names to the packaging to our storytelling, Afriprint is a love letter to Black identity across the globe — unfiltered, unwatered, unapologetic.
5. 🌱 Ethical, Intentional, and Slow-Made
We don’t believe in fast fashion. Our pieces are made with care, in small batches, with dignity. That’s what makes them heirlooms. That’s what makes them last. And that’s what makes them truly African — not just in origin, but in spirit.
✨ Final Word: Why It Matters
Representation without respect is exploitation.
When you shop with us, you’re not just buying something beautiful. You’re honoring a continent, empowering real people, and keeping culture alive — with every stitch, every story, every slay.
So next time you see “African-inspired,” ask the hard question: Where was it made? Who made it? And who benefits?
At Afriprint , the answer will always be: Africa. Our people. Our power.
