Do what we do here at Breakfast with grab your favorite vice and enjoi(no I like to spell it like this..) the photo interview...
gbekembe story
Gbekembe [pronounced bek-em-bee] is adapted from the word Gbekebii [pronounced bek-eh-bee] which means “children” in the Ga language. Ga is spoken in southeastern Ghana, in and around the capital Accra, where Gbekembe dresses are made. Our dresses are hand sewn by experienced seamstresses – entrepreneurial women – that we partner with to produce each line.
She let me check out some of the samples showing below before heading out to her spot to handle more business..Inspired!
