To promote her love for African print and accessories, Ghanaian born and raised Obaa Yaa Acquah launched Elite African in Fall of 2018.

While growing up in Accra, Ghana, Saturday evenings were always an eventful time; picking out our clothes for church the next day was a HUGE event. We all loved it!!! The highlight was mom getting her attire ready. My mom was born and raised in Kumasi, Ghana in West Africa. She loved fashion and her favorite things were jewelry and accessories: earrings, necklace, bags... She loved them ALL! Bright and beautiful colors to match her new African print and a bag to finish the look.

Mom left us too soon, but I will never forget her love for fashion and all things African. It inspired me to start Elite African 3 years ago.

Elite African is for all women who love to add a beautiful piece of art and color to everyday wear. As a mom now myself, I have come to appreciate using the positive impact of African jewelry to accentuate everyday wear, I am instantly in a good mood when I have one. I hope I can bring this experience to you. All of our pieces are handpicked, designed or handmade with much love and care!

Thank you for supporting and promoting African artistry!
