MansaWear is the boutique and clothing line of local designer Nita Brown. Her work combines the styles of both the West and her native Ghana and uses 300-600 count cotton of the Woodin, basaan and KenteNouveau varietues. She works closely with Ghanaian manufacturers and employs seamstresses who use the free-cutting technique. She also does custom work.
Brown came to Rochester a decade ago to work for Eastman Kodak. MansaWear launched in 2011. Her Park Avenue shop and studio debuted during the 2013 Park Avenue Holiday Open House.
