NZZ Bellevue

Accra fascinates with its intense city life, trendy shops and trendy designers

Accra is alive. Its streets pulse with colour, creativity, and energy, and at the heart of it all is Osu—home to our very own Elle Lokko concept store. Jeremy Gloor for NZZ Bellevue captured the city’s vibrant markets, chic beach clubs, and emerging creative hubs, highlighting the pulse of Accra’s fashion and design scene.

During his two-day exploration, Jeremy stopped by Elle Lokko, where he discovered our curated collection of fashion, accessories, beauty, and homewares, all celebrating local talent with a modern twist. The store also played host to the city’s fashion community: designers like Atto Tetteh and Larry Jay shared their collections with visitors, while rehearsals, presentations, and impromptu gatherings underscored the collaborative spirit that drives Accra’s creative scene.

As the NZZ feature notes, Elle Lokko is more than a shop: it’s a creative hub, a stage for emerging designers, and a space where Accra’s design community comes together. Accra’s energy is contagious—and we’re proud to be part of the city’s story, celebrating local craftsmanship and modern luxury every day.
