The A.Au brand offers a singular view of beauty and exploration, with passions each serving as an entry point to weave the wanderlust, the elegant, and the memorable.

We welcome you to our family by sharing these items with you. Each piece sourced and made in Nigeria by the hands of sartorially advanced ateliers.

A.Au brand is a lifestyle brand for the ever evolving woman, a women who doesn’t limit herself to what spaces she can occupy but fully embraces that she can be as multidimensional as she wants to be. For the women who believe in carving out their own paths. For the women who understand the complexities of life; from enjoying a floating breakfast at a presidential suite in Kamandalu to communing from hand to mouth at  her grandfather’s cocoa farm in Abua.

Cultivating Craftmanship

A.Au takes pride in creating sophisticated and elegant pieces Handcrafted by a sartorially advanced atelier with influences of A.Au’s experiences from paths walked around the globe. An inimitable fashion statement in the present, and a promise of a bright and resilient future.

Our reason why

A.Au aims to empower women to embrace their history, culture, identity, stay connected to their roots, and to continue to push the narrative of their legacy.

With 10% of every sale going to building an education bursary that will fund the next generation of young and bright Abua youths through university. "I want these students to see themselves through a mirror, that if someone who was once like them can go out in the world and make their dreams come true. They too are far beyond capable of achieving more out of life".

At birth, we are given names from our ancestors. For some, these names bear stories of royalty and riches. For others, they carry historic significance of those who fought for their right to freedom, And as recipients of these gifts it is our responsibility to carry on the legacy of our ancestors and walk firmly in our given paths.

Asiyami translates in the Abua language as Family. A.Au is a shortened version or Asiyami Gold "loosely translated as ‘family wealth’"

The discovery of Gold's name led to a better understanding of her identity. Gold was the name given to her by her great great grandmother during the final moments of her life. It is said that “gold is only given to those who know its value.” The matriarch of Gold’s family was well aware of this and in time Gold would have the opportunity to give added meaning to her name. She has chosen to and continues to deepen her wealth through rich experiences.

Each journey, therefore, becomes another layer in the tapestry of her identity, revealing a deeper understanding of who she is. The girl who dug deep into her family history and unearthed stories of powerful, treasured women revered by their loved ones and their community, has used such inspiration to fuel her life’s pursuit.

Manifesto

We believe that a space is defined by other dimensions than its mere physical measurements—like height, width and depth.
