Our Story
Meet the Founder
Princess Adeosun, a British Nigerian and passionate travel content creator, has spent the past few years exploring the beauty and diversity of Africa.
During her travels, she discovered the incredible artistry and craftsmanship across the continent, catching the attention of her online community who inquired about purchasing them.
This organic interaction revealed a void in the market inspiring her to create AKANNI. Through the brand, she aims to share the rich cultural heritage of African countries with a global audience.
