YEVU Pop-Up

Overview

When it comes to fashion, staying ahead of the pack can be a mighty tough feat. But if you're keen to kick monochromic minimalism to the curb, while giving a little back to your global community, we've found just the bold West African label to help you do it.

YEVU, which means 'foreigner' in the local Ewe language, is a socially responsible clothing line bringing the wild traditional wax prints of Ghana to Aussie shores. Linking local African tailors with style-conscious global customers, founder Anna Robertson is creating serious change for Ghanaian seamstresses living on the poverty line.

After launching its sell-out debut range in October 2013, the company has gone from strength to strength, hosting pop-ups around the country, selling out eye-catching pieces and garnering a cult following along the way. Now, YEVU returns to Sydney, hosting a ten-day pop-up filled with its new summer range, limited-edition prints, archival pieces and samples — just in time to stock up for summer.

From December 6–16, the store will also be filled with plenty of foliage, thanks to Leaf Supply — and, yes, every plant on display in the store will be available to buy. So both you and your house can acquire some fancy new accessories.

The YEVU Pop-Up is open from 10am–7pm, Monday–Saturday and 11am–5pm, Sunday.
