Production Practices
Each unique product is designed in-house by our creatives, then handmade in small quantities with the finest level of craftsmanship. Many of our textiles are custom-designed just for us by skilled indigenous West African artists, then expertly hand-dyed using generations-old traditional methods. Because they are handmade, no two items are exactly alike, and this charming "imperfection" proudly distinguishes them from mass-produced goods.
