Revered jewellery and accessory designer, Adele Dejak, makes statement pieces in recycled brass and cow horn. Having grown up in Nigeria and studied in the UK, she relocated to Nairobi, Kenya where she launched her label in 2008. She’s since shown internationally and collaborated with Salvatore Ferragamo. Organic shapes and raw finishes epitomise her bolddesigns that imbue their wearer with inner confidence. Adele’s capsule range of jewellery brings her signature style to Asantii.

Since launching her label in 2007, Nkwo Onwuka has found acclaim for her textile innovations and upcycling techniques. The Abuja-based Nigerian designer has recently developed Dakala, a cloth handmade from denim off-cuts that was shortlisted for the Design Museum’s Beazley Designs of the Year 2020 award. She uses this beautifully textured cloth to craft her sculptural and artisanal womenswear. For Asantii, Nkwo offers a capsule range of ethical womenswear.
