BATIK BOUTIK
BATIK BOUTIK was born out of desire to create handmade clothes that celebrated Maya Amoah’s love affair with her Ghanaian roots. Created in 2017 when visiting her grandmother’s home in the Aburi mountains, Maya was in awe of the access to tailoring services found virtually at every street corner as well as the vibrance and variation of African wax prints and batiks in the bustling markets.
There had always been a natural curiosity, respect and innate desire for fashion at an early age. At 15, Maya started a clothing brand called Nebula Artwear, painting thrifted clothing and selling in stores in Hamilton, Toronto and Montreal as well as many festivals. Over the years, she’s sold at countless markets and festivals between Montreal and Toronto but since COVID have adapted more into a purely e-commerce format and slowly stocking in shops.
