If fashion is a language, Finour Couture speaks it fluently with elegance, heritage, and power. Born in the heart of Ghana, this luxury fashion house isn’t just making clothes—it’s weaving stories. It’s a brand handpicked by trendsetters only because every stitch is it's tribute to Africa’s rich past, and every silhouette is a vision of its future.

Before unwrapping how trendsetters has set up the tapestry for this royal line let’s rewind to a Legacy Sewn Into the Fabric of Time.

Meet Etienne Kodjo Finou, the man who turned a family gift into a global movement. In his household, sewing wasn’t taught—it was inherited. No fancy degrees, no formal training, just pure, raw talent passed down like an heirloom. Some families pass down recipes, his passed down artistry in the form of thread and a needle.

Finour Couture was born not just as a business but as a mission to show the world the richness of Ghanaian and African culture through fashion. And let’s be honest, Africa isn’t just rich—it’s royalty. So, it’s only fitting that Finour’s designs reflect the regality, vibrancy, and unshakable spirit of the continent.

What started as a small atelier in Accra has now dressed presidents, celebrities, and cultural icons. We’re talking about names like Sonnie Badu and other top-tier personalities who don’t just wear clothes—they wear statements. The kind that command attention in boardrooms, red carpets, and global runways alike. A trendsetters - Finour collaboration isn’t just about prestige; it’s about preserving heritage while pushing boundaries.

Ghanaian fashion is often a dance between the past and the future, Finour leads that dance with grace. The brand modernizes traditional fabrics like kente and batik, pairing them with sleek, contemporary cuts that fit seamlessly into the trendsetter's high fashion world.

Finour champions ethical fashion, collaborating with local artisans to source materials sustainably. It’s couture with a conscience, ensuring that the same communities that inspire the designs also benefit from them.

Finour's vision?

Global expansion.
First stop: a partnership with this intercontinental fashion magazine. Next? Flagship stores in select fashion capitals. The dream isn’t just to sell clothes, but to embed African luxury into the world’s fashion DNA. And what better way to make a mark than with a platform like Trendsetters Only? This collaboration is more than a magazine feature—it’s a megaphone, amplifying Finour’s story to the world.

Finour’s upcoming collection, “WHERE I COME FROM,” is a love letter to Pan-Africanism. It’s a movement about reclaiming narratives, reminding the African diaspora of their heritage, and dressing them like the kings and queens they are. if that’s not enough, a fashion show is on the horizon.

Expect opulence, storytelling, and a celebration of identity that only Finour Couture can deliver.

Finour isn’t just making clothes—it aligns with the trendsetter's goal of making history. The long-term vision? A global empire of African luxury fashion. But more than that, it’s about building a community of designers, artisans, and visionaries who believe in sustainable, bespoke fashion with roots that run deep.
