The Akanaka Collection: The Meaning Behind Each Colorway

The Akanaka Collection means “She is beautiful” — but each colorway carries its own deeper Shona meaning:

💚 Ruvimbo (Hope) — For the moments when you need to believe again
💛 Runako (Beauty) — A reminder that true beauty is spiritual, not superficial
💙 Ruzhowa (Protection) — A covering of strength everywhere you go
🧡 Ruvheneko (Light) — A radiant glow that shifts atmospheres

Designing this collection was an emotional journey. I wanted to create pieces that speak life into women the moment they put them on.

The structured silhouette symbolizes confidence.
The bold print embodies courage.
The gold hardware reflects royalty.
