Cloth first.
Then the cut.
JT Aphrique (JT Aphrique Ltd.) began in the UK in 2010, with a simple aim: to show the heritage, beauty and diversity of African design through African-inspired clothing. Today we make contemporary clothing for women, men and kids in Ankara, kente and dashiki prints and embroidered cloth.
01
We name the cloth
Every piece tells you which cloth it’s cut from, how that cloth is made and where the technique comes from.
02
Made to be worn
Cuts that work for a wedding and for a Tuesday. Pieces you’ll keep and wear, not save for once a year.
03
Made with care
Every collection is made with skilled artisans, textile weavers and master tailors. We source good cottons, rich brocades and wax prints, and check every garment before it leaves us.
Start with the cloth
Each cloth has its own technique and history.
