BREEZY AND WINDY
This light weight print mesh requires high level of skill for the tailoring to be impeccable. Our attention to quality tailoring did justice to that.

CULTURAL STREET

The long and short of it all.
Soft woven wool in sky and navy blues, tailored in comfy Afro athleisure.

Cultural context.
The net danshiki was detailed with northern Nigeria’s hand embroidery. The pants are loose tribal print on lace

AND THE PARTYING WENT NORTH collection.
We drew inspiration from the traditional and cultural fabrics, regalia, hand embroidery techniques, beauty ornaments and decorative symbols of the people of middle belt and northern Nigeria. We also played with the foundational structure of fabric weaving where we ‘deweaved’ fabrics by removing threads along the weft to create new patterns and detailings in form of fringes.
As a cultural brand that preserves and promotes local craftsmanship, our inspiration gave birth to pieces that transcended geographical cultural boundaries to becoming contemporary with international appeal, creating subculture styles. The signs, symbols and colours of the murals on the tubali of northern Nigeria influenced the prints in the collection and motifs of our hand embroidery which is an age long tradition of detailing fabrics by the Hausas. The hand woven wool fabrics of the Benue people inspired the on loom and some off loom fabric design techniques we employed.
And The Partying Went North collection gives our customers an array of variety to choose from. We got ceremonial pieces, casual and playful designs that are thoughtfully made for men/women and androgynous look.

The Shamaki ensemble

We tailored a non-detachable half flay around the left hand of the neck to right shoulder which extends and swigs at the back (as seen on the send slight).

Kaftan dress
Inspired by sweat shirt, we created this long kaftan dress out of a black linen with elastane fiber that gives a hug to the body but still gives a little ease. The stretch in the fabric allowed us to make the neckline round. We detailed the kaftan dress with a rolled up cuff, a gold hand embroidery and a symmetrical slight that the opening is visible at the hem.
