Love Ankara

At Love Ankara, every product embodies a unique narrative—a narrative that showcases Africa’s incredible creativity, unwavering resilience, and rich cultural pride. Established in 2017 by Emma Maame Efua Tandoh, the brand is dedicated to introducing the world to the beauty of authentic African fabrics, aiming to do so one fashionable step at a time. The name "Love Ankara" represents our heartfelt commitment to the continent we cherish, honouring its vibrant spirit through fashion that is bold, expressive, and full of life.

A standout item in Love Ankara's collection is the foldable ballerina shoe, thoughtfully crafted for the modern, style-conscious individual. This shoe is designed for those who appreciate the perfect blend of elegance and practicality. Made with high-quality fabrics sourced from Ghana and other parts of Africa, these shoes are not only stylish but also versatile. They can be folded for easy storage, washed in a machine, and are built to withstand everyday wear and tear, making them an ideal choice for busy women and children. The lively African patterns featured in each pair celebrate our heritage and culture, while the meticulous craftsmanship reflects a genuine commitment to uplifting local artisans and their skills.

Love Ankara strives to go beyond mere fashion, placing a strong emphasis on sustainability and ethical production practices. Each pair of shoes is made with a focus on reducing waste, often utilising deadstock fabrics that would otherwise go unused. This approach promotes a more responsible fashion industry that positively impacts African communities. At Love Ankara, the goal is to merge traditional craftsmanship with contemporary fashion, creating pieces that not only tell meaningful stories but also support local economies and inspire positive change around the globe.
