Ampela is an artisanal luxury brand from Madagascar. Deeply rooted in the living world, the brand creates hand-embroidered women's ready-to-wear pieces.
From natural fibres to creative, richly worked embroideries, paired with modern, feminine and lightweight silhouettes. From celestial bodies to the plant kingdom to the ocean floor, we draw our inspiration from nature to build a precious wardrobe that follows women from day to night.
The mother-and-daughter duo behind Ampela works exclusively with natural materials and is committed to preserving Malagasy craft traditions and to full transparency across its production chain.
For SS27, the brand presents a capsule of elevated resort pieces designed to move seamlessly from resortwear to sophisticated day and cocktail dressing. Inspired by light and its reflections, the collection features astral and ocean embroideries across white flowy dresses, embroidered kurtas, silk maxi caftans and sophisticated raphia maxi clutches.
With its own fine crafts atelier in Madagascar, the brand offers professional buyers the ability to add specific details or commission bespoke designs for their store. Having the entire process in house allows us to work with shorter lead times, genuine flexibility at every stage, and exceptional craftsmanship at competitive prices with full transparency.
As a Least Developed Country, Madagascar benefits from duty-free access to most major markets. This means a better landed cost on every piece without compromising on craftsmanship or provenance.
