We've been waiting for this moment — and it's finally here!
After years of dreaming, designing, and growing with our amazing community, we're thrilled to announce that the Love Ankara website is officially live!
For those who are new here — welcome! Love Ankara is a Ghanaian-born, women-led fashion brand creating Afrocentric, foldable, machine-washable shoes and accessories inspired by Africa's rich textile heritage. But we're more than just a shoe brand. We're on a mission to make every woman feel confident, comfortable, and connected to her roots — one vibrant step at a time.
Why We Started
Love Ankara began from a deeply personal story. After a knee injury caused by poorly designed shoes, our founder, Emma Tandoh, realized that women shouldn't have to choose between style and safety. From that moment, she made it her mission to design shoes that were not only beautiful but functional, comfortable, and authentically African.
Every print tells a story. Every pair is a piece of heritage — handcrafted with care, using responsibly sourced, high-quality materials from Ghana's textile markets.
