Afua | Turmeric

YC04153 – S04

The name Afua was inspired by Sophie Ashby’s husband’s (fashion designer Charlie Casely-Hayford) Ghanaian family heritage and legacy. The pattern references typical Kente cloth motifs and structure, reimagined in a different scale, palette and pattern.

The Afua fabric is available in Turmeric (bold and characterful patterns in gold and navy sit on a dusty white background), Walnut (where amber stars are striped in teal over an oatmeal backdrop, complete with white and black block patterns), Taupe (a balanced neutral woven with cream), and Olive (where dusty blue block work stands prominently against olive green stripes).
