PAYAMBA Information

PAYAMBA was founded in 2014 with the purpose of making gentlemen wear less boring by combining Danish Design with colourful African fabrics. Our designs are all curated by design team in Copenhagen, Denmark and handmade by tailors in Masanga, Sierra Leone. Fundamentally we do not find any relation between being a gentleman and have a boring look. Of the same reason it is a shame that we especially in a Scandinavian context have a tendency to dive into many shades of grey, rather than explore the many great colour combos out there. That said of course you need to understand the basic rules of style and fashion, while it is only through daring to work on the edges of traditional customs, you are able to make your wear truly personal and move the world of gentlemen wear forward. Colours are the starting point of our production process. The tailors go to the street markets in Makeni, Sierra Leone on the look for interesting fabrics joined by our Copenhagen design team via whatsapp. When the colours chosen our tailors turn them into handmade products on their pedal-powered Singer sewing machines from the 60’s. The result is mens accesories with both colour and personality, ready to spice up the world of formal clothing. See more at www.payamba.com
