Description

Nothing more recognizable than a busy market square in Lagos, Nigeria! The typical vibrancy and busyness literally radiate from the scarf due to the bright colours. The custom painted mosaic pattern adds even more flair. Made from the finest silk.

Combine an authentic Nigerian pattern with a timeless garment in a unique triangular shape!

Adire is the indigo dyed cloth produced by the Yorubas of south western Nigeria. The ancient varieties of resist dye (‘tie and dye’) techniques have been passed on for generations. The typical pattern indigo appearance is well known in- and outside of Nigeria.

As a tribute to Adire we have printed the custom painted images of coloured Adire variations on our silk scarves, providing the soft luxury feel of silk combined with our timeless colourful patterns.  Our signature ‘Oduduwa head’ is visibly embedded within the Adire pattern.

The triangular shape of the scarf makes it easy to wear around your neck, as a head scarf or as a hair tie.
