Origins
Ghana’s prints, the world’s shapes
Git Supplies started with a simple observation. African print is some of the most striking cloth in the world, and it is usually cut into the same few shapes. We want to see it everywhere else too.
So we design familiar pieces from four traditions, from the smock to the blazer, the kimono and the varsity jacket, and make them in African print. Each one starts in Ghana, with Ghanaian cloth, and will be made here by Ghanaian makers.
Craft
Made here, by hand
When production starts, every piece will be cut and sewn in Ghana, from cloth woven and printed here.
Kente is still woven by hand in narrow strips and sewn edge to edge. We design around the cloth as it is made, not the other way round.
Four directions
One cloth, four ways to cut it
Every piece belongs to one of four directions. Each pairs African cloth with a tradition of cut.
