The Story of AKIHI

Hi, beautiful souls!

I’m Holly—the founder and creator of AKIHI. I’m an earth-loving Scorpio with an untamed love for travel, culture, nature, music, and slow, conscious fashion. Born and raised in the UK, I spent my university summers enjoying life in Ibiza, and for the past six years, I’ve been exploring our beautiful planet as much as I can.

Travel has deepened my bond with Mother Earth, opening my eyes to her raw beauty, rich cultures, and ancient crafts. I’ve been endlessly inspired by the landscapes, traditions, and artistry of the places I’ve been. But with this love has also come awareness— awareness of climate change, of the harm caused by fast fashion, of the exploitation woven into the industry, and of the urgency to do better.

Fashion has been a part of me for as long as I can remember, but I knew I couldn’t create just for the sake of creating. I wanted to pour my love into something meaningful—something that nurtures both the feminine and the earth. And so, AKIHI was born.

With a mission to contribute to a more ethical and sustainable future for the fashion industry, AKIHI is a slow fashion brand rooted in nature, honouring the divine feminine with organic, earth-crafted pieces. Every piece is designed slowly and intentionally by moi, then brought to life by a small team of female artisans in London.

This is fashion with a soul, meaning and purpose, woven with care and consciousness. Thank you for being part of our journey. 

Holly xxxx
