Mathew Agambire, the creative genius behind Bondaana, has become a standout figure in Ghanaian fashion. As the designer behind President John Dramani Mahama’s breathtaking inauguration outfit, Agambire brought together elegance and cultural heritage in a way that captured the nation’s attention. His work not only showcased his exceptional craftsmanship but also celebrated Ghana’s rich traditions in a bold and unforgettable style.
President Mahama’s attire wasn’t just about looking good; it told a story. The predominance of white symbolized victory, while the vibrant kente fabric highlighted Ghana’s cultural pride and prosperity. Adinkra symbols woven into the design carried deep meaning: Nyame Dua for God’s protection, Sankofa as a call to remember and learn from the past, and Gye Nyame to acknowledge God’s supremacy. These thoughtful details celebrated unity, strength, and humility, resonating with the values of the Ghanaian people.
Mathew Agambire’s dedication to perfection has made Bondaana a symbol of excellence in bespoke fashion. Beyond dressing President Mahama, he has styled numerous high-profile figures, including President Mohamed Irfaan Ali of Guyana.
With accolades like the ‘Luxury Custom Clothing’ award at the 40 Under 40 Awards and a new branch in East Legon, Agambire is not just a designer but a cultural ambassador, showcasing Ghanaian heritage through his impeccable designs.
