Adire “PJ” Set by Unknown Brand NG
Adire “PJ” Set by Unknown Brand NG
This Adire PJ Set by Abuja based brand Unknown Brand NG, is composed of cotton Adire fabric featuring navy cotton piping along the cuffs of the sleeves and hemline of the pants. “Adire” is Yoruba for “tie and dye,” or resist dying/batik techniques that are common throughout West Africa. What is especially unique about the Adire cloth found in Nigeria is that in addition to patterns created by tie and dye techniques, the artisans sometimes apply hand designs to the cloth literally making each piece a work of art. Because the cloth is designed by hand, no two pieces of Adire cloth will be identical, even if it is made by the same person. In each piece, you receive a rare design which is not the same as any other.
