Founder Ifeoma Ubby created OliveAnkara (OA) with a vision of making African-inspired clothing accessible to women of all races. Born in Italy to Nigerian parents and with a doctorate in genetics, Ifeoma started the brand in 2017 as a side project while living in Singapore. Since then, OliveAnkara has grown into her life's passion, combining Ankara fabrics with unique designs that reflect her mixed cultural background. As a slow fashion brand, OA prioritizes quality and uniqueness, with a zero waste goal.
