Because of War
Luxury tailoring meets bold storytelling.
Mission
Because of War was born from tension — between heritage and futurism, between restraint and rebellion. We create pieces that speak in texture, not noise — designed to outlive trends and remind wearers that expression can be armor. Every collection is a study of craftsmanship, emotion, and identity — where tailoring becomes storytelling.
Asa Nti — “Because of War”
The name comes from the Asante tribe in Ghana. “Asante” is derived from “Asa Nti,” meaning “Because of War.” It honors resilience — the ability to create beauty, order, and meaning in the aftermath of conflict. Because of War stands as both a tribute and a continuation of that spirit: strength expressed through craft.

Heritage Meets Modernity
Inspired by diasporic narratives, shaped by contemporary design — bridging ancestral craft with future form.
Expression as Armor
Designs embrace vulnerability through strength — each piece invites you to stand in your truth.
