Jewellery in Africa has always been prominent from centuries ago to the present time.  African's have cherished beads and appreciated their beauty since ancient times.

Beads have played an important role in the personal lives of African's and in times of our ancestors, being valued as currency and as an artistic medium. The materials used have varied over time, from shells to stones, clay, metal, and glass.

The jewellery industry needs a fashion week and exhibition to sustain its rate of growth and to promote the art of jewelry, hence why the African Jewellery was established.

A Fashion Revival: Chapters Couture Batik Tie And Dye Collection

Chapters Couture, a renowned fashion brand in Ghana, has launched a new collection purposely to revive the Batik Tie and Dye industry in Ghana. 

Mr. Robert Raymond Cudjoe, CEO of Chapters Couture stressed on the fact that many designers and shoppers of the ‘African Print’ clothing have ignored the tie and dye print and focused mostly on other fabrics like Woodin, GTP, Vlisco to the extent of having Chinese fabric producers  file into the country with their pirated prints.

“It seems people have forgotten, tie and dye is also African,” he said “and most designers are not fusing this beautiful print in designs they come up with. This I believe is crippling the tie and dye entrepreneurs we have in this country not to talk of textile graduates from our various  tertiary institutions. 

If attention is given to our tie and dye just as it did with our African print some years back, I believe we can grow that sector and even reduce graduate unemployment.
