Ayo & Aye is named in honor of two sisters, Ekundayo (Ayo) and Ayebodele (Aye), born into a Gambia Krio family in 1940s Bathurst—today’s Banjul. Their blended African heritage anchors the brand and inspires us to reimagine fashion and storytelling in bold new ways. As you shop our one-of-a-kind apparel, jewelry, accessories, and décor, enjoy new Krio heritage stories, vintage photos from our archives, and a fashion journey rooted in history and creativity.
