The ‘Abaake by eQuip’ collection showcases a dynamic array of Afrocentric fashion that fuses traditional aesthetics with contemporary flair. Created by designer Adekemi Ayodele, the brand honors African heritage through distinctive fabrics inspired by her Nigerian background.
Ayodele’s love for fashion began in childhood, nurtured by watching her mother craft garments from vivid, textured materials. It was in their home-based studio that she honed her design skills. The collection features standout pieces like kimono jackets, ‘Ajiun’ skirts, and coordinated ‘boubou’ sets, offering a stylish and adaptable wardrobe.
A standout feature of Ayodele’s brand is its commitment to affordability without compromising quality. With ethnic shirts priced at $40.00 and ‘Arike’ jackets at $59.00, fashion-forward shoppers can refresh their closets economically. In addition to apparel, the brand extends into accessories, hair, and body care, embodying a holistic lifestyle approach.
