Kayobi - pronounced (K – OW – B) is an apparel and accessories company created to ¬ tell the African story and that of the Diaspora through positive, vibrant and thought provoking imagery. The word ‘Kayobi’ translates from Japanese as ‘Tuesday’, this is in reference to the Designers name Kwabena Oppong Boateng. Kwabena is the Twi name given to a child born on a Tuesday in the Akan Tribes of Ghana, coincidentally ‘Kayobi’ sounded phonetically similar to my initials ‘KOB’. Kayobi was Founded in Accra Ghana on 08/08/08 the collection has evolved from a T- Shirt line to include bags and ipod cases. Shadders has been observing Kayobi’s work for a while now and I am more than please to share it with you all as his designs are totally unique and different from every other African designers. I was even more impressed to find Kayobi has designed a selection of jumpers to keep us warm during the cold winter months so hurry up and grab yours!
