Founded by artist, DJ, and engineer Janice Aduhene, Nysama emerged from a passion to empower women through clothing that embodies beauty, vibrancy, and effortless sophistication.
Raised in Ghana, Janice developed a love for fashion at a young age, bringing together her unique vision for destination-inspired wear with insights from her experience living in the U.S. While there, she noticed the limited options for warm-weather vacation clothing in colder seasons, as well as the lack of bold, timeless pieces inspired by iconic styles of the past. This blend of Ghanaian vibrancy and the need for versatile, non-seasonal resort wear led to the creation of Nysama.
Nysama is a resort wear brand designed to transport its wearer to luxurious destinations. Rooted in Janice's Ghanaian heritage, the collection embodies the rich, joyful energy and the unhurried lifestyle of her homeland. Each piece is crafted with an emphasis on slow living, timeless design, and an attainable price point, making refined elegance accessible to all. Perfect for the modern muse, Nysama transforms your wardrobe with a sense of effortless sophistication, ready for any escape.
THE VISION FOR RESORT WEAR
Nysama was born from Janice’s vision to blend her Ghanaian heritage’s vibrancy and warmth with the essence of timeless style. Influenced by iconic moments in fashion history, Janice sought to create pieces that evoke cherished memories, inviting women to travel back in time or to far-off places, all through what they wear.
THE NAME BEHIND THE BRAND
Nysama is both a reflection of Janice herself and an invitation to escape. The name combines elements from Janice’s first name, JaNICE, and her middle name, EwurAMA, creating NICE-AMA and evolving into Nysama. This personal connection resonates with the brand’s commitment to effortless elegance, travel, and vibrancy, infusing each piece with Janice's vision for refined, escapist style.
DESIGNING THE FIRST PIECES
The design process began in January and took nine months of thoughtful and careful development. From materials to fit, every detail was chosen to ensure Nysama would be a brand people could wear and love for years to come. Each piece blends archival inspirations with modern silhouettes, balancing comfort with sophistication to elevate every escape.
BRINGING THE COLLECTION TO LIFE
After months of dedication, the Nysama collection came together. Janice carefully curated each piece to ensure quality, style, and affordability without compromise, making sophisticated resort wear accessible to everyone.
