Inspirations

Change is the only constant thing in life; therefore, change is imminent. Gone are the days when we buy clothes, wear for a while, buy another, dispose, and repeat again; leaving the planet at the suffering end with clothes log at the landfill. This collection is developed with the human environment in mind, with a locally sourced Organic cotton called FUNTUA, made from Katsina (northern region of Nigeria). In addition to the Funtua, is our organic Chiffon. All fabrics went through an organic dyeing process with minimal water usage.

As an ethical brand, we believe in fair pay and treatment of workers, because every individual’s input is considered relevant. “Iyipada” utilizes cowrie shells in place of buttons, to depict the cultural background of the brand and its influence on the collection. There was a play of shapes in the prints on the fabrics; from an inverted triangle, dissected circles to rectangles. Also, colours whose inspiration was drawn from summer sunset.
