MansaWear…
Custom-Made Clothing That Is Uniquely You!
MansaWear owner and fashion designer Nita Brown was born in Ghana. As the daughter of a diplomat, she left for her first overseas trip at the age of seven, traveling to the Czech Republic. Nita completed her secondary schooling in Ghana, received a B.A. in History from Columbia University and an M.B.A. in International Management from Georgetown University. MansaWear originated out of her passion for fashion, creativity and of growing up surrounded by gorgeous Ghanaian fabrics which were transformed into exquisite, timeless pieces for her mother. Nita’s instinctive flair for combining the two has resulted in unique signature pieces that are a distinctly new and creative contribution to the fashion world. MansaWear elegant designs and print are a must have for the discerning, fashion conscious individual who appreciates quality and style.
MansaWear creates custom made clothing that blends Ghanaian and US fashions that are elegant, stylish, versatile and “Uniquely You!“. The company designs limited edition clothes from select pattern fabrics. The exclusivity of the clothing line is derived from how the company creatively arranges the designs in each fabric for the custom-made look. MansaWear caters to all body shapes because our clothing comes in only one size … Yours!
Great Expectations
Read what our customers say about their MansaWear experience and garments.
I tried on the Asymmetric Tunic and looked in the mirror - it matched my glasses perfectly. I didn't even notice when it was on the rack!! Someday I hope to have a custom suit made. All her designs are beautiful.
Ready for another party! LOVE this dress!!
I had such an amazing experience working with Nita, the owner of Mansa Wear. She worked hard to ensure the fit of my bicycle skirt was absolutely perfect. I feel so special wearing the skirt. I can’t wait to order more unique items for my closet! Do your wardrobe a favor and invest in a piece from Mansa Wear. Thanks Nita!
I love it! Beautiful, unique clothing that can be customized or purchased off the rack.
The dress made for me was everything I wanted. I received several compliments. The service was excellent and speedy.
I needed a dress in over two weeks for graduation and they were able to get it done and it was created at a very high standard. I have received many comments on the quality and style of the dress. As a bigger woman, it was nice to have someone there who wanted to make the experience calming and professional. I will be getting other dresses done there very soon.

An absolutely beautiful boutique! I saw a lattice work cape at MansaWear and I asked Nita (the designer & owner) if she could make something similar in a scarf/shawl. We talked about dimensions and what I'd like the scarf to look like- and I am blown away by the finished result. The colorful fabrics and unique designs make all of MansaWear's clothing feel special and I get a sense of joy when wearing this scarf. How can you not be excited to own a piece of beautiful artwork that you can wear? I went back to buy my daughter a purse (her second MansaWear purse!) and as always, Nita was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. As an artist myself, it means a lot to me to be able to talk about the design process and the origin of the gorgeous fabrics that are used to make the clothes and purses. I definitely recommend this shop to everyone!
Hi Nita, Happy holidays! I love my cape!

Hi Nita! Got SO many compliments on YOUR skirt! I love it!
Hi Nita, as discussed, a photo is attached from the set of WXXI’s “Arts In Focus.” I wore a MansaWear necklace for this episode which aired on Friday, September 23 and Saturday, September 24. I’ll be coming back for more goodies, soon! Thanks! Best regards,
Thanks Nita. The shirt fit our friend and he loved it. He wore it on the plane when he left today for New Zealand. Thanks a million,
My experience at MansaWear was a wonderful experience. Not only did I learn about the origins of the beautiful fabric but I was able to ask Nita questions about customized dresses, tops and skirts. I spent almost 2 hours in the boutique ooohing and ahhhing over all the fabric. It's really a must see in person, everything is high-quality and made very well. MansaWear designs will always make you look like the most authentic and amazing women/man in the room. I guarantee it - I will be back very soon! Thank you Nita for an amazing experience.
I love my colorful and comfortable MansaWear skirt. I bought it this summer and it has been my go-to skirt for casual or dressy events. I look forward to visiting MansaWear soon for more one-of-a-kind items!
Absolutely love my experiences with MansaWear! My Maid and Matron of Honor in my wedding had beautiful custom made dresses. Their attire made the overall look of the wedding special!
Great products and great customer service. I recommend MansaWear where you can get something one of a kind.
Nita was incredibly welcoming and her personality was as vibrant as the colors and patterns in her own shop! This was a great shopping experience. I stumbled upon her little store front during Park Ave Festival where I spent a good half an hour trying on her unique patterns and custom dresses. She designs all of her pieces and they are manufactured in Ghana. If you like unique, colorful, and patterned textiles you should definitely come check out her store... 
I LOVE Mansa Wear! There is such a beautiful array of fabrics and designs from which to choose, so that you can have your own unique look and it is tailored just for you. The fabrics are vibrant and expertly woven to last for years, and the designs are classic so that they will not go out of style and will always fit perfectly. The dress that I just purchased is my absolute favorite, and I always get compliments when I wear it. It's very comfortable to wear, AND I know that it makes me look my best. I can't wait to go back for more!
I have purchased a few things from MansaWear. My latest purchase was a red jacket. It is simply beautiful. The items are unique and very versatile. Nita has done a wonderful job with her business. Stop by her shop on 367 Park Ave.
I had a great experience with a recent purchase from MansaWear. Owner Nita Brown and her staff are all very personable and helpful, willing to go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied with your order. The designs, fabrics, and unique business model are an asset to the Park Avenue neighborhood. I encourage you to support MansaWear, not just because it will liven up your wardrobe, but because small businesses like this enrich the city of Rochester.
Had been in the market for a while looking for a Nero suite for my class reunion. MansaWear came highly recommended. Upon my arrival to the boutique i was greeted by very professional staff. Miss Nita helped me find the most beautiful suit for the occasion. You've got to check this little gem out

MansaWear is simply divine. I ran into this lovely shop while taking a walk on Park Avenue. The space is not only gorgeous and intimate, but also extremely well-organized. Further, Nita Brown is a not only fashionable and knowledgeable, but extremely warm and welcoming. During my first visit, I fell in love with one of the beautiful Ghanaian skirts, and had it altered successfully to fit my frame. I am so happy I connected with Nita Brown and MansaWear, and this will certainly not be my last experience with her stylish collection!New Arrivals
