needlework

Needlework by Saphee is a fashion brand that combines personal experience with cultural heritage to create handcrafted silk accessories and garments. The founder, Maud Oklah, began her journey out of a personal need for a reliable hair bonnet. After experiencing hair breakage and being unable to find a bonnet that met her standards, she decided to create her own using silk, known for its hair-friendly properties. This solution not only addressed her immediate concern but also sparked a passion for creating silk products that cater to similar needs within her community. As demand for her silk bonnets grew, Maud expanded her offerings to include silk dresses and bubu garments, incorporating custom batik prints that celebrate African artistry. Her work is characterized by a commitment to quality craftsmanship and a deep appreciation for the cultural significance of textiles. Through Needlework by Saphee, Maud continues to empower individuals by providing products that are both functional and culturally meaningful. You can explore her creations on her TikTok.
