Tailoring & Styling in Accra
Get measured, choose your fabric, and have a custom African outfit made and styled just for you — a wardrobe piece you’ll wear long after the trip.
There’s nothing like wearing something cut for your body, in a cloth you chose, made by hands that know the craft.
What is the tailoring & styling experience?
Ghana’s tailors are some of the best on the continent, and this experience puts them to work for you. You’re measured, you pick your fabric — kente, batik, wax print or your own — and you design a piece with a stylist: a two-piece set, a dress, an agbada, whatever you want. It’s made to your fit and styled so you leave looking, and feeling, the part.

Ghana’s tailoring tradition
From Accra’s Makola and Kantamanto markets to the design studios of Osu and East Legon, Ghana runs on custom clothing — most people have a tailor, and ‘get it made’ beats ‘buy it off the rack.’ This experience plugs you into that world, so you go home with something no shop sells. Pair it with a kente weaving or tie & dye class to understand the cloth you’re wearing.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get an outfit tailored in Accra?
Yes. Akwaaba’s tailoring and styling experience gets you measured, helps you choose fabric and designs a custom African outfit made to your fit.
How long does it take?
Usually a few days depending on the piece, so it’s best booked early in your trip. The fitting and design happen up front.
How much does it cost?
The experience starts from $158.20 per person, depending on the garment. Group options are available on request.
Do I keep it, and can I bring my own fabric?
Yes to both — the finished outfit is yours, and you can use your own cloth or choose from a range.
Do I need any fashion knowledge?
None. The stylist guides the design so you end up with something that suits you.
What can they make?
Two-piece sets, dresses, agbadas and kaftans, kente-accented pieces or your own design — bring a reference.
