About

Ayo & Aye is a heritage luxe brand uniting handmade West African textiles, contemporary design, and story. The collection brings together clothing, accessories, and objects shaped through artisanal practices—selected and developed for their depth, material richness, and distinct character. Known for bold color and texture, each piece reflects a balance of craftsmanship and modern form.

The brand is named in honor of two sisters, Ekundayo (Ayo) and Ayebodele (Aye), born into a Krio family in 1940s Bathurst—present-day Banjul, The Gambia. Their blended African heritage anchors the brand and continues to inform its approach to design, sourcing, and storytelling.
