Ghanaian fashion designer Hashim, the creative force behind the Shop Hashim label and its distinctive Flowerboy collection, has announced a two-day pop-up in Accra this December. The event will take place on December 5 and 6 at Kenten, running from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day.

Hashim shared the news on social media with a vibrant illustrated poster featuring bold yellow tones, a close-up of a smiling face with floral dental details, and the clear details of the dates, venue and hours. The post, captioned “Accra we active this December 2 day pop up See you there,” quickly drew attention from fans of the brand and the wider Accra creative community. The

Kenten, located within the Treehouse Restaurant compound on Plot 1 Ring Road East in the Osu/Labone area, has emerged as a popular concept store and event space that curates African design, fashion and craftsmanship. Hosting the Hashim pop-up there places the brand in a setting already frequented by style-conscious shoppers and creatives looking for homegrown labels.

About Shop Hashim

Shop Hashim has built a following through its Flowerboy line, which includes leather jackets, tracksuits, knit totes, beanies, baby tees and other pieces characterised by bright colours, playful floral motifs and a contemporary streetwear sensibility. The brand operates primarily online through shophashim.com and has previously staged pop-ups, including appearances in Lagos.

Hashim’s work gained broader international notice when American rapper Swae Lee wore one of his Flowerboy jackets during a high-profile performance.

The December dates fall early in Accra’s busy festive period, often referred to as Detty December or December in GH, when the city fills with returning diaspora, tourists and a packed calendar of concerts, parties, markets and cultural events. A physical two-day activation gives local customers and visitors the chance to see and try pieces in person rather than relying solely on online ordering, while also creating a social gathering point around the brand.

Pop-up retail has become an increasingly common strategy for Ghanaian designers and independent labels. Temporary activations allow brands to reach customers without the high cost of permanent retail space, test new collections, and build direct relationships with their audience.

For a label like Shop Hashim, which has cultivated a strong visual identity and online presence, the Accra pop-up offers a timely opportunity to convert digital interest into in-person sales and community engagement.

Details about the exact product selection available at the event have not yet been released, though previous drops and lookbooks suggest shoppers can expect core Flowerboy pieces alongside any new or limited items prepared for the season.

The extended hours from late morning until evening make the pop-up accessible for both daytime shoppers and those stopping by after work or other December activities.

Hashim’s announcement arrives as Accra’s creative and fashion scenes continue to expand. Concept stores, collaborative markets and brand-led pop-ups have become regular features of the city’s retail landscape, reflecting growing consumer interest in African-designed clothing and accessories.

By choosing Kenten, a space already dedicated to showcasing African creativity, the Flowerboy pop-up aligns with that broader movement.

Public Reaction

Fans and followers have responded positively to the news, with several expressing plans to attend. The combination of a recognisable local designer, a clear two-day window, and a convenient Osu/Labone location positions the event as an accessible addition to early December plans.

As more information about inventory, any special activations or accompanying events becomes available closer to the dates, interest is expected to grow. For now, the announcement confirms that Shop Hashim will be present and active in Accra at the start of the festive season, offering another chance for supporters of the Flowerboy aesthetic to engage with the brand in person.

The pop-up runs December 5 and 6 at Kenten, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Further updates are likely to appear on Hashim’s social channels and the Shop Hashim website in the weeks ahead.
