Our Story

Ma Ntuma is a African Print Accessories company focused of showcasing the beauty and vibrancy of African fabric to the world. Ma Ntuma was started as tribute to our founder, Carly Cobbold, late grandmother, Mabel.

Our founder, Carly sent her early 20s traveling the word and her grandma Mabel always said to her "When you go to all these places, make sure you take your own country, Ghana, with you". Following her grandma's passing, Carly bought fanny packs as an item she was "taking with her". She was constantly getting compliments from friends and strangers asking where the fanny pack was from. This put a light bulb in Carly's head and started the beginnings of "Ma Ntuma".

 

Ma Ntuma = My Mother's Clothe

Ma means Ma, Momma, Mommy, Mother which was affectionate name that everyone who met Mabel called her.

Ntuma means Cloth, Fabric. It's the Ghanaian name for African print fabric.

It's our founder, Carly, wish that with each purchase you can take a special part of Ghana with you and share the vibrancy and goodness of our country. Enjoy Ma Ntuma!
