The brand was founded by Katie McDonnell and Anton Simpson-Tidy, who first met as stunt performers on the set of Star Wars: Episode IX. It is the result of their shared love for the film industry, fashion and movement, all brought together in one creative space. Inspired by the functionality of crew workwear, they've infused storytelling into all of their products.

At ANKA, our emphasis is on creating functional, modern clothing using high-quality fabrics and distinctive textures, crafting styles that reflect the versatility of the industry that inspires us. Our garments are produced in limited quantities to guarantee a unique, premium experience. Meticulously crafted in England and hand-finished by us, each piece from our collection embodies our commitment to excellence.
