Élisabeth Akaïa Kaï – The art of carrying light, between Gabonese heritage and contemporary elegance

A vision of luxury that is both rooted and universal.

Élisabeth Akaïa Kaï is a Gabonese luxury fashion house born from a desire to reconcile contemporary elegance with the strength of a multicultural heritage.
Founded by our designer Leslie DURANTON METOGO, of French and Gabonese origin, the brand draws inspiration from Gabon, the Mediterranean, and European capitals (Paris, Lyon, London) to create a sunny, refined, and deeply artistic wardrobe.

Each piece tells a story: a print that evokes the Gabonese forests and the Mediterranean shores, a cut that celebrates the freedom of the body, a garment that transforms into a living memory.

Élisabeth Akaïa Kaï is the alliance of luxury, art and conscience , designed for a luxury clientele seeking rarity and authenticity.

Gabonese Luxury Fashion: A Strong Identity

The house establishes itself as a benchmark for Gabonese luxury , offering a fresh perspective on African design.
Far from clichés, the brand expresses a cosmopolitan and luminous aesthetic, where every detail reflects prestige, boldness and elegance.

Our creations are appealing to everyone:

  • For those passionate about chic, high-end Gabonese fashion ,

  • Afro-luxury retailers and concept stores that want to offer exclusive fashion,

  • International customers who are sensitive to contemporary and conscious African fashion .

Custom-made and sustainable fashion

At Élisabeth Akaïa Kaï, we advocate for a radical approach to luxury slow fashion :

  • On-demand manufacturing : no overproduction, each piece only exists when it is desired.

  • Limited or unique editions : a rare and precious wardrobe.

  • Responsible materials : silk, silk satin, recycled fibers, and carefully selected, high-quality fabrics.

  • Zero stock, zero waste : an ethical and sustainable model, aligned with the expectations of a demanding premium clientele .

A unique creative process: art & technology

Each collection is born from a dialogue between art and innovation .
We use artificial intelligence as a sketching tool: artistic mockups that translate the visual universe of each piece.
These images are poetic visions , like digital paintings, that only come to life when they meet a client's desire.

Thus, the garment becomes a personal and intimate work , revealed only to the person who chooses to bring it into existence.

Artisan excellence

Élisabeth Akaïa Kaï pieces are made by prestigious partner workshops , recognized for their know-how and high standards in the field of high-end luxury .

Each garment is crafted with care:

  • Impeccable cuts that respect the body's lines,

  • High-end finishes ,

  • Exceptional Textiles

  • Respect for human and artisanal values .

This approach guarantees impeccable quality and a unique experience, whether for the Africa Luxe clientele or for our luxury African retailers looking for distinctive creations.

A rare and intimate fashion experience.

Élisabeth Akaïa Kaï is not just a brand: it's an emotional experience .
A workshop about meaning that invites you to slow down, feel, and celebrate the beauty of the present.

We reject the standards of fast fashion to embrace a rare, conscious, and exclusive luxury.
Each collection is conceived as an invitation to travel , a celebration of light, freedom, and cultural heritage.
