Akimbo

AKIMBO is an indepedent concept store and creative event space, showcasing
Caribbean fashion and accessory designers, artists and lifestyle products, located in the
Borough of Arima. It supports the strongest local and regional independent brands
across fashion, lifestyle and art. As an independent and creatively led project, the
concept focuses on providing a plaftorm for these talents to be exposed to the general
public in a way never seen before in Trinidad and Tobago. This is achieved by
appealing to the sensibilities of the everyday man and woman on the streets who would
have once thought that indigenous fashion and art were inaccessible.

AKIMBO's vision is to transform this creative space into something new and exciting,
supporting independent local and regional brands, artists and fashion designers and
establishing the Caribbean as an international centre of independent design and
manufacturing.

Architecturally, the Akimbo space covers 850 sq ft, resembles an art gallery and will feature an ever- changing roster of a curated collection of brands, unavailable elsewhere in East Trinidad. In addition, we will host a programme of educational, creative and cultural events. The space will also be available for meetings and small events which Akimbo will plan for clients.
