Anna Wans: The alliance of Congolese heritage and French elegance


The world of fashion often tells us extraordinary stories. Ours, that of Anna Wans, is particularly captivating, woven between three common threads: the influence of our seamstress grandmother, the cultural richness of the Congo, and the refinement of Parisian fashion.


The legacy of a visionary grandmother

My first experiences in the world of fashion are closely linked to memories of my grandmother. In her workshop, this remarkable woman transformed simple fabrics into true works of art. These precious moments not only sparked my passion for textiles and crafts, but also taught me that fashion transcends mere clothing to become a powerful means of cultural expression.


The vibrant colors of the Congo

Congolese influence is at the heart of Anna Wans 's creative identity. Congo represents an inexhaustible source of inspiration for us, with its lush landscapes and rich textile traditions. Wax fabrics with bold patterns and vibrant colors are a signature of her collections, translating the energy and joie de vivre of her native land.

Our collections often incorporate boldly patterned wax fabrics and color palettes inspired by the lush landscapes of her home country. “I want my designs to be a tribute to this vibrant culture, while blending it with modern touches.”


The influence of Parisian haute couture

My immersion in the world of Parisian fashion began early, thanks to a passionate mother who frequented the private sales of the great couture houses. The streets of the Marais became my daily inspiration ground, nourishing my creative vision of typically French elegance.


A unique creative fusion

I believe our uniqueness lies in our ability to bridge the gap between our African roots and our Parisian experience. Each piece in our collections represents a harmonious dialogue between two worlds: the structured, minimalist cuts characteristic of Parisian fashion blend with the vibrant patterns and bold colors of the Congo.


A modern vision of fashion

For me, fashion goes beyond aesthetics. My creations are wearable narratives, imbued with meaning and history. Each garment tells a unique story, that of a strong woman who draws her creativity from the richness of her dual heritage.


The essence of the brand

I hope that the Anna Wans brand embodies more than just a clothing style. It represents a modern vision of fashion, where tradition and innovation meet, where cultural heritage interacts with the contemporary. Each collection is designed to allow the women who wear it to feel both the strength of African roots and Parisian sophistication.

An invitation to travel

Anna Wans invites you to rethink your relationship with clothing. Through our creations, we show you how fashion can become a bridge between cultures, a means of personal expression that transcends geographical and cultural boundaries.

In a constantly evolving world, I want to remind everyone that our roots and experiences can be transformed into an infinite source of creativity. Our fashion is not simply to be worn; it is to be lived, felt, and shared.

And you, what story do your clothes tell?
