Alt.FFF showcases African-sourced materials across fibres, dyes and finished textiles - including kente, natural dyes, raffia, leather, cotton and cowrie & shells - alongside the manufacturers and innovators working with them. Expect both raw material sourcing and finished-product innovation in one space.

Alt.FFF 2026 is a one-day trade fair on Saturday 19th September. 2026 (exhibitor set-up Friday 18th September. 2026) at The Palms Convention Centre, La Palm Royal Beach Hotel, Accra Ghana.

Alt.FFF was founded by Makeba Nana Boateng, APR, USPAP-ISA, a celebrated cultural strategist and appraiser with more than three decades of experience championing African fashion and textile heritage.

Exhibitor registration happens through the Exhibiting page, where you can review the package tiers - Standard, Medium and Premium booths, plus the Innovation Start-up Pod - and apply directly via the online form.

Alt.FFF exists specifically for this - apply to exhibit via the Exhibiting page if you produce or work with raw or semi-processed materials across Africa. Retail-only businesses aren't eligible to exhibit but can still advertise in the Trade Show Guide.

Alt.FFF itself is Ghana's alternative fashion fabric fair - this site and Fashion Forum Africa's own channels are the best source for updates on this and future editions.

Alt.FFF is backed by a mix of partners, sponsors and collaborators, including Fashion Forum Africa, MCPR Africa and Black Star Experience as partners, DIMO as a sponsor, alongside collaborators such as the Association of Ghana Industries, the National Commission on Culture, the Institute of Textiles & Fashion Professionals Ghana, and Ghana Culture Forum.

Alt.FFF is built for exactly this kind of connection, bringing manufacturers, artisans and material producers face to face with international buyers, designers and brands in one concentrated trade-fair day.

The most direct route is exhibiting at Alt.FFF, where producers get a booth in one space in front of buyers actively sourcing alternative materials - apply via the Exhibiting page.

Alt.FFF, Saturday 19th September. 2026 in Accra, is designed as exactly this kind of event - a dedicated showcase of African heritage textiles, materials and the innovators reworking them for a global market.
