In 2009, a lady in Coventry, England, made a bold move by establishing an apparel company called Temmey Trends. Motivated by the idea of making contemporary African textiles available for Africans in the United Kingdom, Temmey Trends is slowly growing into a household name.

Temi Akanni, the CEO of the company says she finally decided to turn her dreams into reality last year and that with hard work and help from friends she has been able to kick start the business from absolutely nothing.
“It certainly has not been easy but the determination to provide the best for our customers has been spurring us on. The reason behind ‘TemmeyTrends’ is not the ideal of the textiles alone, but the designs that comes with it. We have our own tailors to sow any designed style for you at your convenience and at a reasonable price within your means” says the 20 something year old CEO.

A look at the product range shows that Temmey Trends sells affordable African material like London Wax, Super Wax, Embossed, Atiku, and Golden Block. It also designs free of charge for customers. An observation of the Facebook group created for Temmey Trends reveals that people are beginning to appreciate using African textiles to make western styled clothes. With such a bold move taken by Temi Akanni to delve into a niche market that was frowned on in the west until recently, we are in no doubt that the company is here to stay.
