The all white handwoven light wool fringes hem skirt and jacket paired with a bright neon orange camisole. We accessorized the look with a bunch of some of our popular handwoven stripes, fastened together with leather buckle straps.

AND THE PARTYING WENT NORTH COLLECTION

Ceremonial black.
For this look, we styled the deweaved sleeves set (this time in black) with a cape that was the front hems were deweaved to give long fringes.

AND THE PARTYING WENT NORTH collection.
We drew inspiration from the traditional and cultural fabrics, regalia, hand embroidery techniques, beauty ornaments and decorative symbols of the people of middle belt and northern Nigeria. We also played with the foundational structure of fabric weaving where we ‘deweaved’ fabrics by removing threads along the weft to create new patterns and detailings in form of fringes.
As a cultural brand that preserves and promotes local craftsmanship, our inspiration gave birth to pieces that transcended geographical cultural boundaries to becoming contemporary with international appeal, creating subculture styles. The signs, symbols and colours of the murals on the tubali of northern Nigeria influenced the prints in the collection and motifs of our hand embroidery which is an age long tradition of detailing fabrics by the Hausas. The hand woven wool fabrics of the Benue people inspired the on loom and some off loom fabric design techniques we employed.
And The Partying Went North collection gives our customers an array of variety to choose from. We got ceremonial pieces, casual and playful designs that are thoughtfully made for men/women and androgynous look.
