MAKSI Clothing is a unisex fashion label, which creates ‘fab, fresh and funky’ African inspired clothing. With MAKSI you’re bound to find anything you need in your wardrobe – from a sexy one shouldered number that’s perfect for that posh cocktail event to a casual patchwork skirt that you can hang out with your girlfriends in. MAKSI is a business with a social conscience, and launched the innovative ‘Let’s adDRESS the issue campaign’ to raises awareness of environmental challenges, and supports Energy Solutions Foundation, a Ghanaian based environmental charity.

MAKSI was launched in November 2009 with the support of Accra’s premier Afropolitan hotel, ‘The African Regent’, and since that date has become a trendsetter in modern Ghanaian fashion. The label has quickly garnered local and international attention, and to date has been featured in a range of local and international media including New African Woman Magazine, ARISE magazine and DSTV.

Abena and Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah are the two sisters behind MAKSI Clothing. Abena is the Head of Creative Concepts and responsible for all aspects of design and production. Nana Darkoa is the Head of Business Development and holds responsibility for marketing and communication.
