The Adèle Dejak brand creates handmade fashion accessories for the “modern, sophisticated and multidimensional woman.” Adèle Dejak is inspired by African shapes, textures and techniques to create the high fashion statement designs that are equally art pieces.
“Work hard and don’t give up! Don’t take shortcuts.”
The Adèle Dejak collections express a sincere appreciation for African-made fabrics, including the Kuba cloth and kiting (wax print) as seen below. The Adèle Dejak brand is also economical and eco-friendly in their use of recoiled materials such as rice and cement sacks, brass, aluminum and glass. With a commitment to “exceptional quality”, Adèle Dejak endeavors to employ only the best materials and work with a good team. The Adèle Dejak brand is equally committed to giving back and supporting marginalized communities by training them in jewelry and bag making.
“Without hope there is nothing. If you work hard and are passionate about you do, you will get through difficult times.”
