HOUSE OF AFRIKA

House of Afrika was born from a personal need for more inclusive, expressive fashion that goes beyond what the High Street offers. Frustrated by limited sizing and uninspired styles, founder Maria Hornsby-Odoi, turned to Ghana, where she began designing custom pieces that celebrated her shape, spirit, and love for vibrant African prints.

What started as a few handmade outfits quickly became a movement. Back in the UK, strangers would stop her in the street to ask, “Where did you get that dress?” A sold-out capsule collection later, House of Afrika was officially born.

Today, the brand creates bold, beautiful pieces that honour African heritage while fitting effortlessly into everyday life—because Ankara and Kente aren’t just for weddings or cultural events; they’re for anyone, anywhere, who loves colour, craft, and confident design.

Each piece is handmade in Ghana by a dedicated team of tailors and seamstresses. Produced in small batches – sometimes as one-offs – these clothes aren’t just fashion, they’re statements. Thoughtful, wearable, and joyfully original.
