Amari — Adire Kaftan Dress

Amari — a name meaning "strength".

An African kaftan dress in striped ivory Adire with a hand-embellished colorful accent at the bust in hand-dyed Adire textile from Abeokuta, Nigeria.

Why Amari

• Textile: authentic Adire fabric, hand-dyed in Abeokuta
• Heritage: Yoruba tradition, slow-fashion craftsmanship
• Silhouette: V-neck kaftan, short kimono-style sleeves, relaxed full-length drape
• Palette: ivory and soft-stripe ground with a multicolor Adire accent panel
• Designed by: L'atelier KaAy, Canada

Care

Hand-wash cold with mild soap. No tumble-dry. Iron inside-out on medium heat. Expect slight dye release during the first washes — a natural characteristic of hand-dyed textiles that stabilizes with use.
