Wewe, pronounced (weh-weh) means “little ones” in Yoruba, the language and culture of one of the three main tribes in Nigeria, West Africa. Wewe Clothing was born of our deep love for kids and the inspiration they provide. Wewe also aims to fill a void; over the years, we have rarely found fun, ethnic boho pieces for our own children. We hope Wewe will be a great guide for our children, aka “the wewe’s” of the world, to learn about all the different, exciting cultures this world has to offer.

A great deal of our fabrics, trims, and other materials are imported directly from Nigeria. Wewe’s founder and chief designer, Folake Kuye Huntoon, who has been a designer and stylist to celebrities, editorial/fashion magazines, and commercials for years, is a Nigerian based in Beverly Hills, California.

About Folake Kuye Huntoon
Not only is Folake in love with and deeply rooted in her Yoruba culture, she is also inspired by all the various cultures she has gotten to know through her travels – from the language, food, music to the clothing – and has found a way to translate her connection and passion into her designs.

Folake draws her inspiration from all the different continents. “I’ve had people from different cultural backgrounds identify with all my pieces. I get my inspiration from my childhood and studying different cultures. I call it fashion melting pot.”
