OUR STORY, SHAPED BY YOU

In 2014, when Akua Buckman finally out doored the first product, years of visioning and prototyping had already passed; the fruit of those essential seasons in obscurity seen as a creative, unusual, interesting bag made of metal. Why metal? Why can we see through the bag? How heavy is it? Questions from curious minds soon became the pride of stylish women, where no other brand in the world was offering such a sophisticated bag to women of style.

The brand name itself is also for this woman of style Modern Youthful Trend and Haute – an acronym that spells out the kind of woman that the brand is here for. Quickly did such women embrace us, fearlessly supporting what was an unknown brand and confidently taking strides in society with this symbol of sophistication in hand. They have been the heartbeat of the brand and continue to carry our soul into places and spaces we are always blown away by.

Our operations have also seen interesting growth, from the days of working with various artisans located in opposite areas of busy Accra to finally opening our own factory, buying equipment and customizing our factory floor to cater to the critical needs of our production. We also brought the skilled labour in-house, creating a job funnel from a distinguished design technology institute, where formally trained and practically tested welders found a stable and inspiring place to work right after completing their training. The team has continued to expand not just in numbers but also in its capabilities, with technical and operational staff making up the full team that see the dream through.

Since 2014, we have released 15 collections all designed by Akua, our founder and lead product designer. It has been a delight to be able to conceptualize and birth these pieces and even more delightful to see the woman we make them for embrace them as her new companion with every collection.

Today, we look at how far we have come and are filled with gratitude and awe. A flagship store in the heart of Accra, an online store offering worldwide shipping, retail partners beyond Ghana and a growing community of MYTH Muses (that’s how we call our lovely women) who tell our story for us better than we ever will, as they style them with the best outfits and wear them with all the confidence.

To all our MYTH Muses, we say thank you for 10!
To our team that keeps the engine running, both past and present we say thank you for 10!
And to you, who’s about to join in our celebration, we say thank you for the next 10!
