An annual event that takes place mainly on 1st August (and other days throughout the year) in ex British Colonies especially Caribbean islands such as Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago. In London a Reparation march takes place.

Have you ever gone somewhere saying I’m not buying anything today, just browsing. Well that usually happens when I go to Artisan markets.

It’s the buzz, handmade goods, unique creations, bumping into friends, new acquaintances, no hassle & bustle.

Artisan market by Green butterfly, 1st & 3rd Saturday of every month, 10am – 5pm, Dubois centre, Accra, Ghana.

Treat yourself to some Retail Therapy – why not you deserve it.

‘A single bracelet does not jingle’
Congolese proverb.

Many times we let pride get in the way of asking for help as we feel we can do it by ourselves or we don’t wish to be a burden.

Develop your dream team by your side in order for you to be heard. Don’t suffer in silence. Other people maybe going through the same issues as you.

💃🏿Wearing the love of creative art, from Tie-Dye process to sewing machine. The dress fitted nicely with its asymmetrical design. The middle of right sleeve had a hole which enabled me to wear with arm in or out. ♥️

When you trust a seamstress with your beautiful Tie-Dye cloth – to make up a design out of your head.👗

I have known Elikeim for about 5years, as she sews the dresses for guests attending the Ghana Cultural Experience tour.
📌Elikeim has a unit called Elicos Fashion, Langma Road, near Ama hotel Tele 0245170462

🧵Your seamstress needs to know how to incorporate your Style, Shape & Personality into your design.
