Studio Stories: Nsimba Valene Lontanga - Founder of LIBAYA
Brantuo Studio spotlighted Amsterdam-based creative Nsimba Valene Lontanga, who chose Elle Lokko as the stage to introduce her brand LIBAYA in Accra. Inspired by her Congolese heritage and the iconic off-the-shoulder libaya blouse, Nsimba reimagines traditional tailoring for the modern woman — blending grace, confidence, and a new style narrative.
The feature underscored Elle Lokko’s unique position in the city: not just a concept store, but a cultural bridge where diaspora designers like Nsimba connect with Ghana’s creative energy, collaborate with local talent, and bring new African fashion stories to life.
