Ghana’s entrepreneurship space is brimming with innovation, creativity, and determination. One of the shining examples of this entrepreneurial spirit is IFOK Hand Made Limited, a local brand producing stylish and affordable footwear and bags.
At the NextGen Opportunities Forum 2025 held on 15th August 2025 at the British Council in Accra, Baobab Entrepreneurs had the privilege of interviewing Ms. Rosemond, a representative of IFOK Hand Made Limited. She shared insights about their operations, growth journey, and the impact of their brand on Ghana’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
A Ghanaian Brand Rooted in Craftsmanship
Based in Kumasi (Atonsu) with branches in Accra (Awudome Estate, North Kaneshie), IFOK Hand Made Limited is redefining what it means to build a locally owned fashion business. The company produces a wide range of shoes, slippers, and bags that blend quality craftsmanship with affordability.
One of the unique aspects of IFOK’s business model is their commitment to customer inclusivity. According to Ms. Rosemond, “customer size is never a problem,” meaning every product can be customized to fit individual needs. With nationwide delivery services, their products are accessible to every corner of Ghana, ensuring no customer is left behind.
Entrepreneurship in Ghana: Turning Passion into Enterprise
IFOK Hand Made Limited is a prime example of how Ghanaian entrepreneurs transform creativity into sustainable businesses. What began as a passion for handmade products has grown into a brand that provides opportunities for artisans, young people, and local communities.
By pricing their products at a “cool rate,” IFOK has built a business that is not only profitable but also inclusive, allowing ordinary Ghanaians to enjoy high-quality fashion products without breaking the bank.
Business Growth Strategy in Africa
The company’s growth is rooted in strategic expansion and digital marketing. Starting from Kumasi and expanding to Accra shows their ability to scale in competitive markets.
IFOK also leverages social media to connect with customers and promote their products:
