born to be cared for

Abike Ade is a crochet wear brand specializing in playful and authentic headwear accessories. Founded by Nigerian fiber artist, Lewa Adewumi, Abike Ade's meticulously handcrafted pieces integrate wearable art into the everyday. Upon completing her undergraduate degree from New York University, Lewa soon shifted her entrepreneurial gaze to the passions of her younger self and launched Abike Ade - a brand born to be cared for.

Best known for the Chelly Hats, Lewa's original and one-of-a-kind pieces of art are dedicated to capturing the beauty and complexity of delicate fashions. She continues to share her passion for crochet artistry through beginner friendly crochet patterns and visual tutorials on her YouTube channel. Through her cinematic lens, Lewa gives insights into her creative process, hoping to be a source of inspiration to other artists while simultaneously being inspired by the world around her.
