If you see sport jerseys made with African fabrics or wedding gowns made with the traditional Ghanaian woven fabric, Kente, then you have seen the brainchild of young Ghanaian fashion designer, Ellisha Boie.
Having spent most of her life in Ghana, Ellisha has found a way to fuse the country’s unifying love of football, love of western street fashion, youthfulness and traditional fabric into a unique collection exhibited as MyRRH.
The MyRRH collection has received wide acclaim, including endorsements from Ghanaian celebrities home and abroad.
