The legend has it that the dynasty which founded the three most prominent kingdoms of Dahomey - modern Benin Republic and birth place of Bolddies - started in an unforeseen turn of events. 

 

A revered warrior from the south of Benin Republic, then Dahomey, used his innate magic powers to transform into a panther; he needed to escape the manhunt which ensued his transgression of getting intimate with a princess from a  neighboring kingdom.

 

The infant who was born in the aftermath of those events was named Agasu, and became  the  first child of the lineage which went on to found the three main kingdoms of Dahomey. He is said to have inherited and passed on his father's powers onwards.

​

Self taught American fashion designer Jean-Patrice LeCréateur, a scientist by day, who was born in Benin Republic, aims to share the history and culture of the people of Dahomey, their bravery and resilience, and their contribution to the history of the world. 

 

Bolddies are not mass produced. They are limited edition pieces made by dedicated and passionate artisans we partner with globally, particularly in economically thriving areas.

 

We believe wearing eco-friendly  and socially responsible clothing is another way of walking the walk in addressing the ecological and societal challenges we face.​
