Introducing Season III
Inspired by the ancestors and the manifestation of their diaspora we've taken great care in selecting and naming each print in the Season 3 collection. Drawing from root languages and their offshoots like Yoruba, Swahili, and more, each name has been uniquely and deliberately attributed to its corresponding print. Every called name is special and tied to a history of tongues that have specific meaning and power in this world. We encourage you to explore the definitions and magic behind each name below.
Folasade
The name "Folasade" comes from the Yoruba language and means "Honor earns a crown". This vibrant print is primarily composed of tangerine orange, maroon and a beautiful blue.
Kamaria
The name "Kamaria" derives from the Swahili language. The word translates to "moonlight". The Kamaria series is a beautiful watercolor dance of variant hues of purples, pinks, blues, white and black.
Adekanmi
The name "Adekanmi" comes from the Yoruba language and translates to "I am entitled to the crown". Adekanmi is a bold yet playful array of colors and geometric shapes primarily including purple, orange, and turquoise.
Unika
The name "Unika" comes from the Lomwe language and translates to "to shine". The Unika Series is a beautiful and dark emerald green with distinctive symmetrical links of orange, white and black.
Funmilayo
The name "Funmilayo" derives from the Yoruba language, spoken in parts of west Africa, particularly Nigeria. The name means "Gift from God" and "God has brought me joy". The Funmilayo print is a strikingly perfect blend of dark and light blue hues with deliberate primary incorporations of orange and black against its cool backdrop.
Akintunde
The name "Akintunde" comes from the Yoruba language and translates to "Return of bravery; warrior." We named this print because of its simple yet bold declaration of victory with its dark black backdrop and the graceful yellow gold that adorns the cloth in the form of symmetrical circles.
Mobolaji
The name "Mobolaji" derives from the Yoruba language. The name translates to "Born of Wealth". The Mobolaji series is so complex and unique in its design. Bright yellow, black, and white beautifully lay against a deep and dark purple backdrop in a beautiful arrangement that is stunning to the eye. The name is very special to us, and belongs to our direct ancestor and grandmother, whose personality and vibrance is embodied in the boldness and beauty of this stunning print.
Nailah

Sharifa
The name "Sharifa" derives from the Swahili language and the name translates to "distinguished". Sharifa is reminiscent of a colorful leopard print design composed of primarily striking blues, red, yellow, and greens splashed with black dots of varying sizes. The print is strikingly beautiful and bold as evident by its name.

Named after our direct ancestor and dear grandmother, the Ibijola print encompasses the beauty of her name and her essence.
