Bowties

Crafted from small pieces of textile offcuts, @ecodesigns is training her trainees to repurpose textile offcuts into beautiful “Ankara” bowties which can be used to design dresses or to wear with dresses.

Why make Bowties?

The Cameroonian market is almost saturated with imported expensive western bowties which is playing negative on our economy and increasing our textile waste footprint. These Bowties costs more between 2 – 20 USD making them a luxury for most of the people of our community. As such, we are producing beautiful Ankara Bowties that have a blend of the African and Western cultures and are durable and affordable ($0.5 per bowtie) for all.
Some of our Bowties creatives include the Bowtie Garment we made for the Glam fashion show.
