Ìràwọ̀ Kaftan

Ìràwọ̀

The starburst motif — ìràwọ̀, meaning star — appears throughout Yoruba adire as a symbol of guidance and brilliance. This kaftan is dyed in a deep aubergine that shifts toward plum in low light and toward violet in daylight. The pattern radiates from a single point at the chest, creating a naturally focal design. Wide sleeves, an open round collar, and a 30 cm side slit make this a garment that moves. Suitable for ceremonial occasions or evenings. Lined. Made in Lagos.

About Adire

Adire is a Yoruba word meaning "cloth that is tied and dyed." This centuries-old resist-dyeing tradition originates in Abeokuta and has been practiced across southwest Nigeria for generations. Every Adire House piece is hand-crafted in Lagos.
