ahoba handmade

Ahoba Handmade is a handcrafted accessories brand founded by Coffi Thérèse, an accountant by training and a passionate creator since childhood. From her early age, she was nurtured by a love for manual work — knitting, embroidery, sewing — and chose to quietly pursue a creative path, inspired by her older sister’s fascination with handmade arts, particularly beading and macrame. Driven by a desire to root her art in her heritage, she quickly decided to bring a distinctive African touch to her creations: woven beads, traditional fabrics (pagne), Akan weights, cowrie shells... Every piece signed Ahoba Handmade is a fusion of cultural heritage and contemporary creativity. Today, the brand offers a diverse range of handmade items, from bags and jewelry to decorative objects like paintings, placemats, flower pots, and baskets. Inspired by nature, traditions, and everyday objects, Thérèse imagines unique creations where every detail tells a story. With Ahoba Handmade, craftsmanship becomes a language — a bridge between past and present, tradition and modernity.
