Our Story

Where Paris Meets Africa

Kofiya was born from a dream — to create fashion that celebrates African heritage while embracing the elegance of Parisian design. Our name, meaning “hat” in Amharic and Swahili, represents the crown we all wear: our identity, our culture, our pride.

Our Mission

Fashion That Unites

At Kofiya, we believe that clothing is more than fabric — it's a statement of identity, a celebration of heritage, and a bridge between cultures.

Based in Paris, the fashion capital of the world, we draw inspiration from the rich tapestry of African traditions — from the geometric patterns of Kente cloth to the earthy tones of the Sahara, from the vibrant energy of Lagos to the ancient wisdom of Ethiopia.

Every piece we create carries a story. A story of artisans whose skills have been passed down through generations. A story of communities coming together. A story of the warmth and positivity that Africa brings to the world.
