Our Top Five Fashion Sources of Inspiration

Behind each of our unique collections lies a world of sources of print inspiration drawn from nature, culture and travel. Here are some of the core inspirations that gave life to our vibrant collections.

Nature

Nature is the ultimate muse and we draw inspiration from the vibrant hues of African sunsets, the earthy oranges and rusty reds of the Saharan desert to the intricate patterns of palm fronds by the Atlantic ocean. These colours and textures form the base for the print backdrop. 

Culture 

Growing up in West Africa and travelling across the continent have deeply influenced the inspiration for many of our prints. Storytelling is one of Africa’s richest heritage, and many of our pieces take you on a journey into some of the continent’s cultural traditions - vividly brought to life on gorgeous silk. From the popularity of the calabash, the incredible history of the Eben sword in southern Nigeria, to the symbolic beauty of the Ghanaian Adinkra. Every print whispers a story that is told through the artful drape of the silk on the wearer. 

Travel

Travel provides us with one of the richest inspirations and is the heartbeat of our prints. Every journey across Africa and beyond reveals new textures, patterns, and stories that inspire the silk’s intricate designs. From the vibrant hues of bustling markets to the quiet elegance of remote landscapes, each piece becomes a canvas where cultural heritage and modern luxury intertwine.

Art 

Local artists and traditional craftwork are also invaluable sources of inspiration. The bold lines often found in heritage arts or abstract artwork can spark fresh ideas for colour palettes and print designs.

Inspiring effortless elegance

Our collections embody a carefree  luxurious lifestyle. The inspiration often comes from imagining how a garment will make someone feel: confident, feminine, dreamy or just ready for adventure. Each design blends sophistication with wearability and exudes effortless style and luxury.

Whether it’s the vibrant colours of a sunset or the intricate details of traditional craftsmanship, the designs are a reflection of the beauty encountered on memorable journeys through Africa.
