Note from founder: origins

KHENNY (noun)
Short for Kehinde, a name traditionally given to the second-born twin in Yoruba culture.

At the heart of Khenny is a story of duality, something that runs through everything we do. The name Khenny is short for Kehinde, a name traditionally given to the second-born twin in Yoruba culture. With my Taiwo (first-born twin) being a boy, I’ve been gifted the rare experience of seeing the world through both a feminine and masculine lens at once. I’ve learned to live between worlds, blending softness and strength.

This duality isn’t just central to the brand’s name; it’s woven into the very fabric of its ethos. At Khenny, we celebrate contrasts, balancing them to create something that’s both powerful and deeply personal. It’s this unique perspective, rooted in heritage but forward-thinking. This is the vision that fuels everything we create.
