At Afychry, we take great pride in the craftsmanship and quality of our garments. All of our garments are both designed and produced in-house at our local atelier in Kenya. Our design team works closely with our skilled artisans to ensure that every garment meets our high standards for impeccable design, superior materials, and meticulous construction.

A: At Afychry, we are dedicated to supporting local African artisans and preserving textile traditions by sourcing our materials directly from communities across the continent. We work closely with skilled artisans, providing them with fair wages and a platform to showcase their craftsmanship.

Afychry was founded with the vision of blending contemporary fashion with traditional craftsmanship, while also promoting sustainable and ethical practices. The name "Afychry" comes from the combination of "Afya," which means wellbeing in Swahili, and "Chrysalis," symbolizing transformation. This reflects our commitment to creating fashion that not only makes our customers look good but also feels good about their choices. Our inspiration comes from nature, art, and African cultures, which we infuse into our designs to create unique and timeless pieces. We are dedicated to supporting skilled artisans in African countries, using eco-friendly materials, and reducing our environmental footprint. Our goal is to empower and inspire individuals to embrace their uniqueness while making a positive impact on the planet.

Ankara/African prints hold deep cultural significance as they are often used to convey a sense of identity, heritage, and tradition within African communities. These prints are not just fabric designs, but they also represent the rich history and diverse cultural heritage of the African continent. Each print is often associated with specific meanings, symbols, and stories that are passed down through generations. At Afychry, we honor and celebrate the cultural significance of Ankara/African prints by incorporating these designs into our clothing and accessories, thus providing our customers with the opportunity to connect with and embrace African culture through fashion. Our commitment to authenticity and respect for the origins of these prints is a central part of our ethos, and we strive to educate and create awareness about the cultural significance of these prints within the fashion industry.

At Afychry, we believe in celebrating the vibrant and rich heritage of African fashion, and our Ankara garments are no exception. When it comes to styling and accessorizing Ankara garments, there are countless creative possibilities. To start, consider pairing your Ankara outfit with simple and classic accessories such as gold hoop earrings, a statement necklace, or a sleek belt to accentuate the waist. Additionally, you can add a pop of color with bold, complementary accessories like a colorful headwrap, a beaded clutch, or a pair of strappy heels. Mix and match patterns and textures to create a visually striking ensemble, or opt for a monochrome approach for a more minimalistic look. Don't be afraid to experiment with layering, such as wearing a fitted blazer or a denim jacket over your Ankara dress or jumpsuit. Ultimately, the key to styling Ankara garments is to let your individuality shine through and embrace the bold, unique patterns and colors that make these pieces truly special. We encourage you to explore your personal style and have fun expressing yourself through the beauty of Ankara fashion.
