SO WHO’S BEHIND KRADLE KOUTURE?

Kradle Kouture, Inc fashion items are the inspirations of owner, entrepreneur, designer and very busy mother, Nana Adwoa (pronounced na-na-ju-wa). Nana Adwoa hails from the beautiful plains of West Africa, particularly Ghana – known as the Gold Coast. Even as an infant, Nana Adwoa has always been fashion-conscious and had an immense passion for fashion. Her mother was known for winning a lot of beauty pageants of which she followed suit. Her biggest accomplishment in pageantry was when she won 1st runner up for the Miss Lux 1996 – pageantry resembling the well known Miss Ghana pageant. Despite the fact that she actively works and was educated to be an electrical engineer, she managed to participate in several fashion shows, working as a freelance commercial, editorial and runway model for all her life. She has also mentored and trained young adults in the art of cat walking. She continues to work as a freelance print and commercial model since fashion is her greatest passion.

SO WHO OR WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND KRADLE KOUTURE?

Wow, that kinda sounds like a trick question…..My fashion-forward first-born 2-year old child named Ava-Mirre. As a matter of fact, Kradle Kouture will be launching its clothing line in Spring of 2010 with the premier ‘AVA-MIRRE’ Spring Collection – a dedication to this special daughter of mine. Ava-Mirre has been my inspiration to start this business from the very beginning. Being a new mom of such a smart yet fashion-forward child, I was inspired to make cute clothes for her. My daughter, Ava-Mirre will be the muse and motivation for the clothing that I create. I’ll do my best to see if she would be willing to make a ‘debut appearance’ in the next article.

I wanted to be able to give kids an opportunity to be noticed in the glamour limelight by being able to create ‘miniature copies of adult designer fashion couture’ for them. Since the birth of my daughter, I have had a strong desire to develop a reputable (female) children’s wear brand.

So why not a little background on Kradle Kouture, Inc?

Kradle Kouture, Inc is an online boutique specializing in exceptionally funky, trendy, chic, sassy custom-made designer children’s’ clothing and accessories for the world’s coolest little divas. We cater primarily to little girls from infancy stage to toddler size 8. We anticipate expanding out business into catering to little boys’ clothing in the nearby future. We are different from your average kids clothing boutique, in that, our fabrics are adorned with authentic African fabrics and designs.

We carry custom-made high fashion kids’ apparel made with intricate and authentic African designs and themes. All these styles would be designed with custom-made, hand-made authentic fabrics, local wax, batik, tie-dye and screen printed fabrics as well as imported cottons, linens, and silks such as internationally renowned hand woven ceremonial Kente cloth and batakari material. Contemporary designer (suppliers) will also manufacture western-style trousers, skirts, shirts, sweaters, dresses and jackets, often incorporating indigenous African designs.

One might wonder where the inspiration for this venture came from. Well it’s two-fold. First and foremost, inspiration is deeply rooted in my origins and background. Secondly, let me pose an important question - have you ever felt tired of always seeing other kids wearing the same brand and/or style of clothing as your Lil’ dude and/or diva kids? Even more upsetting to me is my major ‘pet peeve’ – can someone explain to me why departmental stores, and other typical children’s clothing stores think it is acceptable to just slap any color on any type of fabric and calling it ‘cute’ baby girl clothes. Well I beg to differ. This is the main reason for creating my own ‘hip’ line to give these little divas of ours a sense of individuality, creativity and pizazz. To capture my goal with this venture in a few words, Kradle Kouture, Inc seeks to offer ‘miniature copies of the favorite top designer outfits with a ‘splash’ of African flavor.

And so, if you believe your kid is the next fashionista, the next international top model, then you’ve come to the right venue for your child’s daily catwalks.
