The Ijele Dress channels the spirit of performance and cultural pride. Its silhouette draws from the grandeur of the Ijele masquerade — a symbol of artistry, music, and storytelling in Igbo tradition.
The bodice combines black linen and white cotton, cut into clean, structured lines that echo strength and grace. Below, a cascade of black raffia straws moves like music — fluid, grounded, and alive. The hand-drawn gong motif on the front pays homage to the traditional Igbo instrument, a reminder of sound as identity and heritage.
Every detail of the Ijele Dress honors the craftsmanship of local artisans and the rhythm of tradition that continues to inspire modern African fashion. Fabric: Black linen, white cotton, and black raffia.
