About

Abike Ade is a crochet wear brand founded by multidisciplinary fiber artist, Lewa Adewumi. After graduating from NYU in 2021, she leaned into the passions of her younger self and launched Abike Ade - a brand born to be cared for. Best known for the Chelly Hats, her original, one-of-a-kind pieces of art are dedicated to capturing the beauty and complexity of delicate fashions. Drawing inspiration from nature, livelihood and emotion, Lewa's meticulously handcrafted pieces integrate wearable art into the everyday. While her pieces are only available for viewing, she shares her passion for crochet artistry through beginner friendly crochet patterns paired with visual diaries on her YouTube channel. Through her cinematic lens, Lewa gives insight's to her creative process, hoping to be a source of inspiration to other artists while simultaneously being inspired.
