Ankara fabrics was formerly categorize as the wrapper worn by village women and the very poor and elderly in Nigeria, but today, it has become the toast of fashion designers and fashion freaks.

AFRICAN fabrics, fondly called Ankara in Nigeria, have become clothes of choice for fashion freaks, who want to wear stylishly designed clothes and those who are not in the habit to repeat the clothes they wear. They are cheap and come in good and a variety of colours.
The Ankara in today’s fashion trend is versatile and this has made it very acceptable among people from different works of life. This is unlike the times past when Ankara was mainly used as a wrapper by native women and relatively poor people. But that is now history. Ankara is no longer limited to dressmaking; they are being used for making accessories such as shoes, bags, bangles, earrings, slippers, purses, belts and rings among others.

IJEOMA DURU.

Nabella Couture African accessories are designed and crafted by Ghana-based designer "Ijeoma Duru". From an early age, Ijeoma pursued fashion and was always drawn to old aesthetic fashion accessories  at fashion shows, stores(boutiques) and online stores. After years of experimenting with materials and learning the techniques, Ijeoma honed her craft into a collection of work that embodies her vision as a fashion designer.
 
Her intent with Nabella Couture is to create african accessories that's interesting, impactful, edgy, timeless and memorable. Inspired by mixing vintage qualities with modern forms, this new collection uses rare materials from all over the world. Some designs include beads from the 1950s-1990s that were never worn. Since these rare and unique materials are so hard to find, each piece is one of a kind and some of them cannot be made a second time.
 
Nabella Couture accesssories can be worn with almost anything, used to dress up or go casual and it has a timeless quality that will make you look and feel oh so beautiful.
