About

Hi, I’m Mitota, the founder and creative mind behind Emitota — a fashion brand born out of my deep love for African prints, craftsmanship, and the confidence that comes from wearing something truly special.

Every piece you see here is handmade to order by me — from the first sketch to the final stitch. I handle everything myself: designing, drafting patterns, cutting, sewing, and finishing each garment with care and precision. It’s a labour of love — one that allows me to pour creativity and intention into every single piece.

My journey into fashion began with a simple curiosity. I started by learning to sew using free-hand methods, then trained professionally in pattern making, design, and finishing techniques. Along the way, I fell in love with the vibrant world of African prints — their energy, their stories, their boldness. But I also saw how they were often used in ways that felt heavy or limited.

So I created Emitota to show a different side of African fashion — one that feels modern, elegant, and versatile. I want women everywhere to experience the beauty of African prints in a new light — to wear them effortlessly, proudly, and anywhere in the world.

Every design is made with the modern, confident woman in mind — someone who values quality, individuality, and authenticity. My goal is simple: to help you feel powerful, beautiful, and completely yourself, in pieces made just for you.

Thank you for being here and for supporting handmade craftsmanship. Every order means the world to me — and I can’t wait for you to experience the care, passion, and story behind each Emitota creation.

Warmly,
Mitota Edokpolor
Founder & Designer, Emitota
