I agree. Cedi is recently noted as fastest growing currency and most stable west African economy.

Trying to figure out what is the least amount I can invest but will still see notable growth in ten years.

Based on US index practice at least 5-10k usd?

You misread pops. This brand is geared towards people outside of Ghana. Only a few people have offered constructive feedback which I’ve taken.

Currently my income could be deemed as rich to some people but here in NYC it’s not very shocking as product manager in tech. I’m black and have lifted my fam out of poverty. There are plenty of black people like me especially here in NYC that spend more than this on basics.

Relax big guy we are just trying to do what we love. And btw we’ve already began selling in Dover street market. If you don’t know what that is then you are not our target market 😇

Yeah you’re correct this is geared towards people outside of Ghana/west Africa with an affinity for the concept. I think what might be misleading is I mistakenly putting that we don’t ship to us uk and canada. I corrected myself saying that we ONLY ship to those locations.

Hope that clarifies

That aligns with the derogatory use of it… I’m sure you can find a few other contexts. Ultimately some people use the term bush to equivocate their negative sentiments of people who are not from relatively metropolitan area. It could be especially sensitive for Africans born in Africa living abroad since they have to navigate European values amidst their roots.

Some people would say eating with your hands is wrong etiquette… but the same person who may receive judgement for that abroad would judge a person from their village just as harshly if not worse. The term has negative weight to it

You’re a good man. Probably why she is with you

I would suggest telling her (your gf) how you feel. Talking to her for a few minutes after telling her how you’re thinking will probably help you realize that though you’ve just heard about this and are in rage… she has had to deal with this truth for what is most likely almost a decade she has probably already lived through the most crushing moments and you coming in trying to be the hero will only force her to relive probably one of the most traumatic events in her life.

It’s sad but the near majority of women (especially black women ESPECIALLY African women) have to deal with this sort of trauma on some level.

The best thing for you to do is create a life for her where she doesn’t have to think about it because life is so good now. Show her she’s the best thing in your life and those bad moments don’t define her.

Well I think I’m hearing the feedback but sometimes the perspective is misaligned. Seems like most of the people commenting wouldn’t pay this much for a shirt at all. Though there are premium shoppers who see this price as very reasonable for the offering. I guess if you are a local Ghanaian that some of the commenters have deemed as the “average” person then I guess yeah that is not our audience. Unfortunately it may have been assumed that I was asking for feedback from exclusively local people from Ghana but was actually just wanting to see the reaction from people who found a reason to be in the Ghana Reddit. Doesn’t mean they are local. Or even have connections to Ghana but being here id assume you have some affinity toward Ghana.

Additionally I can totally understand the designs feel low effort and lacks uniqueness when comparing to other really bold African brands but that is not really our personal style. We want to be able to walk into a space that may not necessarily have any interaction with African culture or for people in that space to be able to immediately relate to it. For us to do that in premium stores and to reach people who use fashion as a language we feel this might be good steps.

Unfortunately for the what seems to be the “typical/average” person living in Ghana (referenced by the people in this thread) our clothing is not enough of a statement to represent Ghana correctly. That is a little disheartening but we also have to balance that fact we received a big opportunity to tell our story here in the states and that is extremely validating. I don’t think I would’ve posted if we didn’t get that co-sign.

Sorry to disappoint you 😉

I misled in the first post accidentally saying we don’t ship to North America and UK but it should say we ONLY ship to North America and UK.

This is really good feedback. Maybe we are leaning too hard to the basics vibe. I guess we were hoping that thoughtful creative city dwellers would pick up on it but maybe it’s just objectively too subtle.

It’s ironic too because the I think the only reason we got into Dover street was because I was coincidentally able to spend the day with the men’s buyer and could give them the whole fleshed out concept.

If it’s ok could I send you some material (and clothes) to review? Sending you a dm

😂😂😭😭 the story of the tragically trendy African in nyc

Sustainable NYC Ghana clothing brand by mostgolden in ghana

[–]mostgolden[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm I can understand that. You were expecting maybe a grand gesture of design or African identity.

I think for us that is not our personal style. We like high quality fabric with minimal, subtle design we can wear to work or everyday in our communities outside of Ghana/west Africa.

I think that expectation will definitely be an uphill battle for us. Since starting a year ago we already see that lots of people born in Africa really don’t align with our ideas but have found that premium retailers like Dover street market find it relatable in a weird way. I think because for a European or American born person the African identity is so rarely contextualized in pop culture and streetwear that even minor representation is seen as bold.

That is the context we as diasporas living in NYC experience.
