Nkyinkyim Collection

Nkyinkyim — Twi for “Twisting” — is an Adinkra symbol of the Akan people of Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. It stands for initiative, dynamism and versatility on life's winding journey.

We draw it as it appears in the Asante tradition. Every Nkyinkyim piece here is printed or embroidered only after you order it. Tees and hoodies carry the symbol in cream on black, with “NKYINKYIM” lettered across the back. Choose a tee, hoodie, cap or tote.
