JEKKAH ORIGINS
JEKKAH is the fun and funky brand that will bring a bit of African colour to your life. We design and manufacture our African Inspired Clothing made from 100% cotton African Wax Print materials in The Gambia, West Africa.
JEKKAH is a word taken from the Wolof language, which is a language spoken by over 10 million people in West Africa, mainly in Senegal and the The Gambia. Wolof is a spoken language, not a written one so people may argue over the spelling but the word has a clear meaning:
jekkah [je-kka], n. (1) to be beautiful, (2) to be well-dressed
SUPPORT AFRICA
Our products are all sourced, designed and manufactured in The Gambia, using highly skilled local Gambian tailors. When you buy any item by JEKKAH you are actively supporting and making a difference to Gambian people.
ORIGINAL CLOTHING THAT STANDS OUT
Every item by JEKKAH will be Limited Edition, as we will make only a small quantity in each fabric design.
We have carried out extensive market research to gather the perfect fit and popular designs for all of our products and we think that there is nothing like it around. Whether you want to chill at home, head to a festival or pound the streets in our clothing and accessories – we guarantee you will find a place in your life for something by JEKKAH.
