Dispelling the narrative that Africa is the dark continent
Welcome to Touch of a Queen, a contemporary African fashion brand proudly founded in 2015. What began as a small-batch headwrap line sewn in New York City has grown into a bold celebration of African design, identity, and craftsmanship. Today, we offer a vibrant collection of African headwraps, skirts, dresses, and accessories, all designed by us and handmade in Africa—with love, intention, and authenticity.
Born from a love of traditional Yoruba geles, Touch of a Queen was created by Mobosinuola Asanpaola Randle CEO, Founder, and Creative Director —a proud daughter of Nigerian immigrants. What started with just a few yards of fabric in NYC has grown into a robust brand and global movement celebrating African beauty, names, and storytelling.
We are more than a fashion brand. We are a love letter to the African continent. Every stitch, print, and name tells a story—and every collection honors the traditions and modern brilliance of African creativity.
Our products are ethically handmade in Nigeria, where we partner with talented artisans, tailors, and local communities to bring each design to life. From handpicked Ankara fabrics to careful stitching, we ensure that our pieces are made with quality, intention, and care. Our deep connection to the continent allows us to create exclusive styles using authentic African prints that you won’t find anywhere else.
We use fabrics sustainably. Making sure not to waste fabric. Instead, each customer gets a unique version of each handmade design.
We don’t just design from a distance—we design with our hands, hearts, and heritage.
One of our most intentional design choices is how we name each piece. Every product in our collection is given an African name—each rooted in culture, language, and meaning. From Yoruba to Swahili to Twi, the names we choose reflect the energy, elegance, and identity of the piece.
On every product page, you’ll not only find style details—you’ll also learn the origin and meaning of the name, a practice inspired by sacred naming traditions across the continent.
Because names carry power. And we believe in honoring African names boldly and beautifully.
We want you to feel empowered, grounded, and connected when you wear our pieces. Whether you're celebrating your roots or discovering African fashion for the first time, our brand is here to welcome you with open arms. We believe in representation, heritage, and self-expression—and we design each item so that you feel regal, stylish, and strong.
We’re building a future that’s just as bold as our prints. As we grow, we plan to expand our offerings, host intimate in-person events, and deepen our impact across the African continent through more artisan partnerships. We're committed to storytelling, sustainability, and celebrating African excellence every step of the way.
Stay connected with us on Instagram, Facebook, and through our email list, where we share new collections, behind-the-scenes moments, cultural gems, and more.
