Kadija Kanu is a luxury women’s fashion brand redefining elegance through heritage, craftsmanship, and empowered femininity. Founded by British-born designer Kadija Kanu,  of Guinean and Sierra Leonean descent, the brand blends cultural artistry with bold, modern design. Each piece speaks to women who lead with intention and dress as an expression of identity.

​

With over a decade of experience at leading fashion houses and a BA (Hons) in Fashion Merchandising, Kadija gained deep insight into the inner workings of the fashion industry. Her career in luxury fashion has shaped a brand defined by passion, precision, and purpose.

​

In 2018, Kadija launched KK Afriquè - a brand bridging West African heritage with innovative design. As her creative voice matured, the brand evolved. In 2025, it re-emerged as Kadija Kanu - a refined, global expression of luxury rooted in cultural storytelling and personal legacy.

​

Each collection begins with the material - hand-selected, hand-crafted, and deeply inspired. Designed in London and ethically produced by skilled ateliers in Sierra Leone and Guinea, Kadija Kanu blends modern luxury with conscious values. At the heart of the brand lies its “Tailoring House” ethos: craftsmanship that tells a story, with every stitch honouring heritage and excellence.

​

Kadija Kanu speaks to women who are unapologetically confident - who command presence not just through their appearance, but through the strength of their identity. The brand is a platform for bold feminine expression and global resonance, grounded in cultural heritage.
