I spent my Christmas holiday in Accra. Every time I go there I make it a point to bring back a taste of Accra with me. Most times i buy fabric or clothes. But I am slowly weaning my self off my addiction to Africana. It used to be wearing Africana made you stand out from the crowd. Now that everyone is a fashion designer it is no longer so. I’ve since turned my focus to accessories. The beauty about accessories is that you’ll very rarely find the exact same thing on someone else. If you ever been so fortunate to bump into me you probably noticed some funky earrings, bracelets, or bag. If you didn’t notice, i guess you’ll have look harder next time. Here are some things are picked up while i was in Ghana. Of the lot my favorite are two beaded leather bags originally made in Niger. Come this summer I’m sure they’ll be a hit in New York.
