Sika: What Women are Making in West Africa (by Way of London): Ghana
Phyllis Taylor founder of Sika Designs won ‘most outstanding contribution to the fashion industry’ at the Black Business Initiative awards in 2006 for her Ghana-inspired pieces.
“All garments are produced in Ghana by highly skilled tailors and seamstresses. The highest standards in garment production is an integral part of Sika’s mission. We work very closely with local traders and manufacturers to produce quality garments for the international market. By generating regular income for those involved, we are able to give back to the Ghanaian community and raise the standard of garment production.”
