Ohema Ohene pronouced ‘Oh-he-/ma:/ Oh-he-/ni:/’ is a British fashion brand, specialising in African inspired fashion, created in 2009 by British born designer Abenaa Pokuaa. Founded in London, the name meaning Queen & King in the Ghanaian language of Twi was in reference of her Ghanaian heritage and plans to create a brand for both Men and Women.
Ohema Ohene produces exciting, high quality stylish seasonal African inspired fashion for Men, Women & Children. Ohema Ohene blends quintessentially British styling with West African textiles, which is representative of London’s multicultural population.
Many of the rich prints are directly sourced from Ghana, using authentic traditional motifs blended with more contemporary imagery. The brand gives the wearer a sense of glamour, great quality products which are fashion forward, wearable and culturally influenced.

A taste of colours, influences, prints and concepts which are prestigious to Africa with a focus on Ghana.
