Small-batch · Lagos, Nigeria
Contemporary African womenswear — dresses, two-piece sets and headwraps, cut in editions and finished by hand in the studio.
The studio
We are a studio of three — a pattern-cutter, a finisher, and a woman who does everything else. Every piece is drafted, cut, sewn and pressed under one roof in Ikoyi. If you ask us how something was made, we can tell you which hand held it, and on what afternoon.
What we make
Dresses, two-piece sets, headwraps and the seasonal drop — that is the studio’s entire catalogue. Everything else was cut and never returned.
01 / 04
Long, structured silhouettes in cotton, linen and adire. Cut for a body that moves — a wedding guest, a launch, a Sunday you meant to spend at home.
02 / 04
Cropped jacket and a long skirt, or a shirt and a pleated trouser — sets that read as one look and split into two wardrobes.
03 / 04
Long, generous cuts in the studio's signature adire and aso oke. Tied for church, worn open on a Tuesday.
04 / 04
Four times a year we cut a themed collection — a chapter of eight to twelve pieces that live for one season and never return.
The house rules
No sales. No re-cuts. No collections we do not stand behind. Everything we make is finished by the same three hands, in the same room in Lagos, from fabric we chose ourselves. If a piece has left the studio, it has been forgiven every mistake we could find.
— The atelier
The current drop
A floor-skimming column in hand-dyed indigo adire with a covered-button opening at the shoulder.
A cropped structured jacket in burnt sienna linen, paired with a long, sharply pleated skirt.
A long, generous aso oke wrap in palm greens and warm cream, finished with a hand-rolled edge.
Get on the list
One email, a week before every drop. Preview the pieces, hold a size before the site does. That is all it does.
