Question 1

What is Akisa?

Accepted Answer

Akisa is a luxury resale platform for African designer fashion and culturally significant pieces.
Our name is a little play on raised value; taking what already exists and giving it new worth through sustainability, circulation, and intention. We believe fashion deserves more than one life.

Question 2

Why we do this

Accepted Answer

African fashion is too intentional, too crafted, too storied to be worn once and forgotten. Akisa exists to make sure of that.

We believe:
-Luxury can be conscious, not wasteful
-African design deserves circulation, not just sit still.
-A garment is more than fabric; it carries memory, culture and craftsmanship

The most powerful closets are the ones that evolve. Akisa creates a second life for the pieces that deserve to keep telling their stories. African fashion needs to live longer, and better.

Question 3

Is Akisa only for women?

Accepted Answer

For now, yes. Akisa is currently focused on women’s fashion and sustainability. In the future, we might be open to expanding.
But if you love great fashion, you already belong here.

Question 4

What kind of items does Akisa accept?

Accepted Answer

We curate:
-High quality African designer pieces
-Statement and special occasion garments
-Culturally significant fashion
-Pieces in excellent condition
If it still feels iconic, it’s probably Akisa worthy.
