Who Is Matthew Agambire?

Matthew Agambire is a University of Ghana alumnus with a BA in Psychology and Geography and an MBA in Marketing. But his true passion lies in fashion, where he’s made waves with his brand, Bondaana, which translates to “Things Owner” or “a wealthy person” in the Frafra (Gurune) language.

In an interview with Edward Asaree, Agambire revealed that his journey with President Mahama began with a test outfit he designed two years ago. “He loved it,” Agambire recalls.

The rest is history. President Mahama even attended the launch of Bondaana’s fashion office, cementing their collaboration.

Agambire’s designs focus on clean lines and classic tailoring that exude authority and elegance. Think structured blazers and perfectly fitted trousers.

Add African Flair


Incorporate rich, traditional fabrics into your wardrobe. Bondaana seamlessly blends African heritage with contemporary luxury.

Choose Bold, Yet Refined Colors


Mahama’s inauguration outfit featured white, black and a colourful mixture of kente that made a statement without overpowering the moment. Opt for colours like black, navy, burgundy, or even emerald green.

Pay Attention to Detail
