About Pencil Kloden

A fashion school rooted in Accra, shaped by Africa, built for the world.

More Than a Fashion School

Pencil Kloden was born from a simple belief: that African fashion deserves its seat at the global table. Founded and led by Jeff — a master tailor and visionary — we have grown into Accra's most respected fashion institute, blending the richness of West African textile heritage with cutting-edge international design principles.

Every programme at Pencil Kloden is crafted to build not just technical skill, but creative identity. Our graduates leave not only knowing how to construct a garment — they know how to tell a story through fabric.

Our Core Values

Heritage First
Every lesson honours the traditions that shaped West African textile arts.
Craft Mastery
We believe in doing things properly — by hand, with patience and precision.
Global Vision
Our graduates compete with the world's best — because we train them that way.
Community
Fashion is more powerful when it lifts others — we build industry networks for all.
