About Kwesiya
THE BRAND
Kwesiya is a Canadian based lifestyle brand renowned for its original use of prints and colours. The company’s product portfolio includes high-quality Clothing, versatile Accessories as well as Home Décor items. We specialize in the use of block print textiles, vibrant fabrics characteristic of West Africa, fusing them with textiles from different part of the world, to create pieces that would appeal to consumers globally.
"Our designs are more than a juxtaposition of bold lines, vibrant color and textures. It's a juxtaposition of cultures."
