About The Brand
Introducing Koshieo, an African luxury brand that celebrates the beauty and diversity of the continent through fashion.
Our brand was founded on the belief that Africa is a source of inspiration, creativity and luxury. We strive to showcase the rich cultural heritage of Africa through our designs, which are a fusion of traditional and contemporary styles.
Our collection is inspired by the vibrant colors and patterns of traditional African textiles, such as Kente and Adinkra. Each piece is carefully crafted by skilled artisans, who use traditional techniques passed down through generations. We use only the finest materials and pay meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every garment is of the highest quality.
At Koshieo, we believe that luxury should be inclusive and accessible to everyone. Our goal is to empower people to express their individuality through fashion and to bring a taste of Africa's rich culture to the world.
We are committed to promoting ethical and sustainable practices throughout our supply chain. We source our materials from local suppliers, work with fair trade cooperatives, and ensure that our artisans are treated fairly and paid a living wage.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Born and raised in Ghana in west Africa, Nina’s aesthetics have African roots, but redefined for the international markets.
From a young age, Nina was exposed to elegance and fashion by her mother Goody who was an outstanding fashion designer of her time.
Mentored by the Editor of chief of Vogue Italia, the Late Franca Sozzani, Nina got the opportunity to sharpen her skill set by learning from an iconic leader in her field, thereby pioneering one of the fastest growing ethnic inspired brands available today.
Nina took up a part-time job while studying biology at the University of Missouri, trading in shoes and bags to her peers between New York and the Midwest area. Through this, she realized her extreme passion and zeal for fashion and business, could be harnessed at one place, hence the birth of the KoshieO fashion brand.
In Ninas own words “The KoshieO brand was designed in order to bring new life to everyday wear”.Our luxury fabrics combined with a hint of vibrant ethnic-inspired symbolism give a custom feel to everyday fashion pieces required for the modern lifestyle”.
Nina creates timeless pieces by focusing on the simple but obvious details and craftsmanship of every collection, as well as drawing inspiration from her colorful background and heritage. Nina lives in Maryland with her husband and their children.
