Overview

Description

The Sleeveless Romper from Ade + Ayo makes dressing baby easy, thanks to functional buttons on the front and snaps on the bottom. Made from organic cotton, it’s soft and safe on baby’s skin. It also fits easily into a diaper bag as a great on-the-go backup outfit.

Abebe & Aye

These prints are inspired by ankara, a pattern and fabric style common in various parts of Africa. This style of fabric is known for its bright, vibrant colors and unique repeat patterns. The patterns have different cultural meanings, conveying messages to those who are gifted the fabric or see someone wearing it at an event. Abebe means “fan” in Yoruba, a language spoken in Nigeria, because the design is reminiscent of beautiful handheld fans. Aye means “earth” as it’s created in earthy, muted tones. The Ade + Ayo founder says, “I’ve always loved the way I feel when wearing ankara—joyful, beautiful and connected to a greater community.”

Berbere Bogo

The Bògò collection was inspired by bògòlanfini (meaning “mud cloth” in the Bambara language), a handmade Malian cotton fabric traditionally dyed with fermented mud. Bògòlanfini holds and important place in traditional Malian culture, worn by hunters as camouflage, protection and as a badge of status. Women are wrapped in the fabric after they enter adulthood and right after giving birth. Patterns in bògòlanfini fabrics have various cultural meanings, depicting mythological concepts, proverbs and historical events. “Bògò” means “earth” or “mud” in Bambara. This Berbere Bògò is a bright re-coloring of their original best-selling print.

Adehye

The Adehye print is their take on kente cloth, a Ghanian woven textile made with strips of silk and cotton. Traditional kente weaving is done on a wooden loom and kente cloth was historically worn by royalty. There are hundreds of different types of kente patterns, each with its own name or meaning typically based on proverbs, historical events, important leads or plants. Kente has become an important symbol of African heritage and pride across the diaspora. This print is named “Adehye,” meaning royalty in Twi (Ghanian language).
