THE ART OF SELF
CHAPTER I
ILÉ Print: A Closer Look
For the woman who has embraced the rich tapestry of her complexity and is ready to celebrate every step of her journey, the ILÉ print is a powerful affirmation. The print is a visual story, brought to life through multiple hand-drawn motifs, including our personalized interpretations of Adinkra symbols and the signature ILÉ in my own handwriting. The goal was for it to become a second skin that adapts to your unique narrative, a living artwork designed to reflect your ever-evolving journey
It is my hope that this print illuminates your own journey.
Bese Saka
Means sack of colanuts, which hold significance in both Nigerian and Ghanaian cultures. Usually given as a sacred offering, represents wealth & unity. To the Igbos, a symbol of acceptance.
Bese Saka celebrates the wealth of your experiences, the unity of your stories and the strength in your self-acceptance. I hope it inspires you to embrace the interconnectedness of your journey.
Duafe
Translates to "wooden comb". Traditionally represents feminine qualities of beauty, love, care and purity.
In our print, Duafe celebrates femininity as fertility through self-care. It honors the beauty of nurturing one's self. May it inspire you to rest in your true self, bringing forth all that you are meant to be.
Hibiscus
From my childhood in Lagos, the striking but delicate petals of the hibiscus often brought me comfort.
The Hibiscus in ILÉ symbolizes the courage to face hard things. May this piece remind you to extend kindness to yourself as you grow and evolve.
REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS
WHAT OUR TRIBE SAYS
I'm in love with the dress. Very resort. Love the full length which almost never happens for me as a tall woman.
I received my dress and it is the most perfect dress!! I love it so much. Can't wait to wear it!! 🥹🥹🫶🏾
This is truly the best customer service I have ever experienced in my life. The dress is nothing short of amazing. I will be wearing it on vacation and I can't wait!
You did your big one with this dress. It is everything! I can't believe it fits this well, without coming in for fittings.
The length is perfect. It does sweep the floor but i like that. And by the time I wear heels, it will be spot on!
I initially got Luna in the original print. Heads turned with that dress on. Immediately I knew I had to get it in White. Even better!
