SUSTAINABLE CRAFT

Adinkra: Akuaba
Se traduce como: El hijo de Akua - Muñeca de fertilidad

Simbolismo: La leyenda de Akua, una mujer Ashanti que no podía quedar embarazada. Buscó la ayuda de líderes espirituales locales que le regalaron una pequeña muñeca de madera tallada. La mujer cuidó la muñeca como si fuera su propio bebé y pronto quedó embarazada. Como resultado, la aldea nombró a la figura Akua ba, que significa hijo de Akua. Ahora se utiliza para traer buena suerte general, fertilidad, salud, felicidad, belleza y abundancia.

Cuidado: Para volver a brillar el latón, frote con lima o limón / Use el producto químico 'Brasso' en un paño pequeño para pulir

Wash at 30° / hand wash, iron on low heat.

Origin & history: Fugu (also called batakari for the sewn smock garment) refers to strip-woven cloth from Northern Ghana (notably among Dagomba, Mamprusi, Gonja, and other groups). Traditions recount influence from the Mossi/Moshie of Ouagadougou. Historically, smocks carried social and protective associations and, in some accounts, were worn in warfare or ritual contexts.

Technique & look: plain/warp-faced strip weaving on double-heddle narrow looms; sturdy cotton (sometimes with indigo) produces hard-wearing strips that are stitched and later tailored into the iconic smock silhouette. Patterns range from minimalist stripe layouts to richly banded indigo/undyed schemes. 

How we source: we source fugu from the Upper West Region of Ghana and have worked with the same trusted weaver since 2018, ensuring continuity and quality.

All our fabrics are treated to resist dye and stay true to their colours for years. 

Threaded Tribes is plastic free and committed to a full re-use of scraps.

This outfit was hand crafted in our Accra workshop using local fabrics with careful water usage and waste management.
