Aus den Kollektionen der vergangenen Jahre:

"Anita Quansah London is one of the luxury accessories brands in the UK.

Evolving from her fascinating background as a textile designer and jewellery curator, Anita Quansah set up her own accessories label in 2006 after obtaining a textile degree from Chelsea College of Art and Design London. Which has quickly grown into a much admired and coveted collection which is a work of art in itself. Not only is the designer from a highly diverse mixed background Nigerian, Ghanaian and British, she’s also from a traditional; African family who have been in the creative industry for many generations, designing and making traditional attires out of handwoven and embellished textiles for the political leaders, kings, queens and traditional rulers of Igbo Land of Eastern  Nigeria.

Using her own influences from her African/British background, Anita has created pieces which are unique and distinctive, showing a true flair for combining cultural inspirations with wearable, statement pieces which are not only beautiful to behold but also have their own story behind them.

Far from conventional, each piece in the Anita Quansah London collection is made using different elements such as traditional and rare African materials, semi-precious stones as well as pieces of vintage jewellery in order to create new and exciting pieces. Unlike other jewellery collections, each piece from Anita Quansah London is handmade, unique and has a fascinating story behind the design and creation process, giving the wearer the feeling of exclusivity, luxury and knowing that each item made with a passion for the craft.

Anita has worked in the fashion industry for a number of years with a wide range of designers including Christian Lacroix, Diane Von Furstenberg, DKNY, Victoria’s Secret and textiles Weisbrod Zurrer and Sandy Starkman."
