Olaotse Mereyabone, founder and lead designer of Apphia Creations, says her inspiration stems from a deep appreciation for pioneer women and a desire to express identity through clothing.

Mereyabone explained that Apphia Creations specialises in contemporary fashion that intertwines African heritage with modern aesthetics. She added that the designs emphasise sustainability, utilising natural fabrics to produce timeless pieces that tell a story.

She stated that her clothing line name, Apphia, is derived from a biblical term meaning "fruitful" or "productive," which is also her grandmother’s name.
