about us
akin: (adj.) the sentiment of connectivity, with your self and others.
akin was born on a sunny London afternoon when two sisters-in-law decided to create, grounded in their shared belief in empowerment, beauty and traditions. Hailing from Dominican Republic and Romania, they embody the endless inspiration of their travels and the artistic expressions of different cultures. The desire to bridge gaps between cultures and connect women through art and tradition flows through their veins.
Our collection is a small batch, handcrafted line of timeless pieces. Every item is crafted slowly by using the utmost care and attention to detail, using practices that are mindful to the environment.
The unique cultural traditions and expertise are the ethos of our brand. The one of a kind embroidery, carefully woven materials and crochet, result in singular pieces inspired by heritage and unique details.
Our designs are a labour of love – with blend of traditional Romanian folklore and feminine Latin vibrancy.
