DressesEmber Wrap Dress
₦85,000A true wrap in burnt-sienna hand-dyed cotton, cut long with a deep V and a self-tie belt that sits at the natural waist.
Lagos Atelier — Small Batch
Wrap dresses, two-piece sets and hand-tied headwraps cut in Lagos, in runs of forty or fewer. When a batch is gone, it is gone.
Why small batch
Cloth first, then the pattern
Forty pieces, then never again
Every style is cut in a single run. No restocks, no warehouse — the pattern is retired once the batch sells through.
Cloth sourced within Nigeria
Adire from Abeokuta, aso-oke from Ilorin, hand-dyed cotton from Oshodi. We buy directly from the dyers and weavers.
Cut for real Nigerian weather
Breathable weights, unlined bodices, hems that move. Designed for Lagos humidity, not a European autumn.

How a batch happens
From dye pot to rail
01
Sourcing
We travel to Abeokuta, Ilorin and Oshodi and buy cloth directly from the dyers and weavers — never through a middleman, never sight-unseen.
02
Cutting
The cloth decides the silhouette. Whatever the batch yields — usually twenty-five to forty pieces — is the whole run.
03
Finishing
French seams, faced hems, hand-rolled edges. Six people in Ikeja finish every piece; nothing is outsourced.
04
The drop
Photographed in the studio, listed, and announced to the list. Most batches sell through in under a fortnight.

From the people wearing it
“I bought the Ember wrap for my sister's engagement and three women asked me where it was from before the food came out. The cloth is heavier than it looks in the photos, in the best way.”
“The Harmattan skirt has done a wedding, two Sundays and a work trip to Abuja. I have never owned a piece of Nigerian-made clothing that held its shape like this.”
“They hemmed the Sienna column to my height in the studio while I waited and refused to charge me. That is why I am on the mailing list for every drop now.”
Drop 05
The next batch is forty pieces
The mailing list gets seventy-two hours before anyone else. No restocks, so the list is the only reliable way in.
