Founded by Tanzanian-American sisters, akelo. was born from a vision to fill a gap in the market—creating high quality lifestyle and apparel pieces that infuse elements of the African aesthetic in a fresh and modern way. Our designs are made to turn heads and spark conversation; never limiting who can wear them. akelo. is for everyone, everywhere—culture-rich, style-driven, and unapologetically bold.
