Considered choices. Human connections. Lasting value.
For NYNY RYKE, responsibility begins with how we work: the materials we select, the quantities we produce and the relationships we build with our makers.
We see sustainability as an ongoing commitment that requires care, evidence and improvement. Our approach centres on artisan-made textiles, considered production and the preservation of skills that deserve a place in fashion’s industry future.
Craftsmanship and livelihoods
Around 85% of our products are made in-house in Togo. Across our wider network, we collaborate with weaving ateliers and approximately 35 artisans, bringing together experienced makers and a younger generation learning their craft.
These relationships allow us to work closely on quality, develop new ideas and support the transmission of weaving and tailoring knowledge. We also support skills development through patternmaking and sewing training, helping local makers strengthen their technical knowledge and professional opportunities.
Materials and textile processes
Over 80% of our textiles are hand-loomed or hand-dyed. We work extensively with cotton and select other fibres according to the needs of each design, considering their feel, function and suitability for repeated wear.
Manual weaving remains central to our textile production. Material composition and care guidance are provided at product level, helping customers make informed choices and look after their pieces.
Giving materials another life
Our signature drawstring packaging bags give surplus viscose fabrics a new purpose. Designed for reuse, they can continue to protect garments or hold personal belongings long after delivery.
We prioritise recycled, recyclable and reusable packaging options where suitable, while continuing to reduce unnecessary plastic.
Time is part of the craftsmanship.
A handwoven textile begins long before a garment takes shape. It requires preparation, rhythm, patience and knowledge. We choose a pace of production that respects this work.
Our collections are developed in considered quantities, combining limited ready-to-wear pieces with made-to-order designs. Producing in response to demand helps us limit unnecessary stock and give each creation the attention it requires.
Designed beyond the season
We create pieces with a life beyond a single collection: distinctive tailoring, expressive textiles and versatile silhouettes that can be worn in different ways over time.
Selected designs offer adjustable details, personalised sizing or colour options. These choices bring the garment closer to the individual, encouraging a more personal relationship with what we wear.
Our Mission
To create beauty with purpose, and opportunity through craft. Our mission is to build a contemporary luxury brand rooted in Togolese craftsmanship, enriched by Italian savoir-faire and guided by respect for people and materials.
As we grow, our ambition is to create more opportunities in Togo, support the next generation of makers and bring greater international recognition to the craftsmanship at the heart of our collections.
