Our collections are inspired by Africa’s rich textile heritage. Every piece we craft celebrates bold patterns, vibrant history, and modern high fashion. 

Ankara fabrics are like the life of the textile party, straight out of West Africa with a wink and a twirl. They kicked off with an Indonesian batik trick - wax and dye teaming up for bold, splashy patterns - until Dutch traders hauled them over in the 19th century. The locals grabbed it, jazzed it up, and made it their own, turning cotton into a canvas of geometric shapes, florals, and tribal vibes. It’s the kind of fabric that doesn’t whisper - it struts. You’ll spot Ankara rocking everything from headwraps that rule the room to dresses that steal the show at weddings. It’s not shy about crashing other scenes either - think pillows that perk up your couch or curtains that make your windows jealous. In places like Nigeria, it’s the MVP of “asoebi”, where friends and family match outfits to flex their unity and style.
