OUR STORY
alkeBULAN is an African wear e-commerce brand that embodies African culture. From the patterns to the fabrics down to the needling, our designs showcase African culture. We use traditional African prints (also known as ankara) to design modern wear for Africans in the diaspora. We are in the business of tackling lack of knowledge, access and jobs in our communities.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to tell our ancestral history, provide a platform for Africans in the diaspora to buy African apparels for their daily lives, and provide jobs for the youths of Ghana.
