If local clothing brand Asha : Eleven had to be described in three words, they would be sustainable, inspiring and creative. This is according to Olivia Kennaway, the Kenyan-born co-founder and creator of Asha : Eleven, who derived the name of her store from the Arabic word “life” or “truth” and the number 11, which represents a spiritual gateway.
For Olivia and her team, Asha : Eleven is more than just a clothing brand, for them it’s synonymous with a conscious way of living. All their clothing, which is inspired by Kenyan design and craftsmanship, is hand-produced in Cape Town in collaboration with a few small local clothing manufacturers.
