As my parents are Ghanaian, I grew up with the different fabrics of Ghana and have always been fascinated by them. The lack of representation of these fabrics in retailer stores and the decrease in the production of authentic Ghanaian fabrics was the beginning of founding AMANDE.

I am Jan and have studied product design in Hanover. My job is to support the team with creative solutions! It is important for me to convey the value, and the individuality of the colourful fabrics in my designs. With every draft I try to transport the heritage of the culture into a modern design.

My Name is Astrid Gifty and I was born in Hamburg but have Ghanaian roots. I am studying „Bekleidungstechnik“, and am supporting AMANDE by Marketing activities, designs and new ideas!
