Veronica Nyakianda Gakio-CEO Ankole Luxury

Veronica is passionate about creativity, individuality, and sustainable fashion. Her journey began from a personal love for unique jewellery, where she would modify ordinary accessories to create designs that stood out. After discovering that cow horn could be transformed into elegant jewellery, she established Ankole Luxury to offer handcrafted, custom-made pieces that are both stylish and culturally inspired.
Beyond business, Veronica is also recognized for empowering rural women in Kenya by partnering with artisan groups who crochet bags for the brand. Through this work, she combines fashion with social impact, helping create income opportunities and preserving local craftsmanship.
