Yevu

Bonwire (weaving partners; brand based in Australia)

What Yevu is known for

Yevu commissions its kente panels directly from named master weavers in Bonwire, the Ashanti town regarded as kente's place of origin, then cuts the strip-woven cloth into caps, bucket hats and pullovers. The brand documents its Bonwire weaving partners on its own site rather than presenting the textile as generic African print.
