Avec Valeur, translating to “Female with Value” in French, is an Afrocentric fashion brand committed to empowering women through fashion that celebrates self-worth, confidence, and individuality. Founded by Nina Skaii, a mother of three, Avec Valeur emerged from a journey of redefining beauty and identity after motherhood. Originally called “Femme Avec Valeur,” the brand was created to inspire women to embrace their unique beauty with boldness and authenticity, no matter where life takes them.

Afrocentric Inspiration

Avec Valeur draws deeply from African culture, infusing our designs with the vibrant energy of African art, heritage, and tradition. Our fabrics, primarily Ankara, are sourced from Cameroon, Ghana, and Nigeria, embodying the bold colors and dynamic patterns that are intrinsic to African design. Using the ruching technique, each piece is crafted to enhance the body’s natural shape and offer an elegant, tailored fit that flatters all figures. By combining modern style with traditional craftsmanship, we create fashion that allows women to feel connected to their heritage and identity.

Empowering Post-Partum Women

The transformations of motherhood often bring unique challenges that are rarely celebrated. Avec Valeur is dedicated to changing the narrative around post-partum beauty, designing clothing that honors these changes and empowers women to feel confident and valued. Our pieces embrace our philosophy: “If you can’t get rid of it, dress it to kill.” Every garment is crafted to enhance, flatter, and remind women of their innate worth—especially mothers adapting to a new stage of life. We believe motherhood should be celebrated, not hidden, and our designs reflect this commitment.

Nina Skaii: Founder and Visionary

Nina Skaii’s journey as a mother of three inspired the founding of Avec Valeur. After her third child, she experienced firsthand the struggle to reclaim confidence in her changing body. This experience motivated Nina to create a brand that would empower other women facing similar challenges. Avec Valeur stands as a testament to her vision—a place where women can rediscover their beauty, embrace their identity, and feel seen, valued, and celebrated.

Versatile, Inclusive Collections

Designed for women who value beauty, elegance, and versatility, the Avec Valeur collection offers pieces that transition seamlessly from social gatherings to time spent with family. We believe fashion should serve as an expression of self-worth, allowing women to always feel confident and beautiful.
