Colour, graphic prints and bold designs
We love it! We are inspired by local craftmanship, products and prints. And this is exactly why we are hooked on the colorful wax printed and Adire fabrics of West Africa. Together with local craftswoman and designers we create products for you and your home.
Our fabric
We take great care in sourcing our fabrics and prints. Our wax fabric, or ankara, Kampala or Hollandaise (east african name) is coming from Balogun market in Lagos, Nigeria. In the small back alleys of this market you can find almost anything you need. We love finding and selecting the most beautiful prints for you. Each print is usually printed only once in different color combinations. This is exactly what makes them so unique.
Fact and Matter
We believe it is important to share facts that matter. The history of wax fabric is a global and complex story. It is impossible to separate wax fabric from colonial history. And it is impossible to separate colonial history from slavery. All have their effect on the balance of power in the world. Recognizing our place in the history of textile production on the African continent and globally, we are committed to support a long-term, growing and sustainable economy in Nigeria by paying fair wages, sourcing locally, being respectful of culture and tradition, focus on equal practices and making a product that our customers truly love. All our fabric and products are created by and bought from passionate and talented women in West-Africa. They run their small businesses like a boss and form the backbone of society and economy.
