Ethnik Presents a Unique Blend of Vintage Nigerian Fabrics with Contemporary Urban Designs

Araba's Cafe holds onto its African roots as it sets to host one of a kind African contemporary design brand – Ethnik, this Sunday, 29th May 2016.

The brand which shows an interesting mix of vintage Nigerian fabric with contemporary urban fabrics was established by multi-dimensional Artist, Tunde Owolabi.

Ethnik has effectively reconsidered the utilization of Aso Oke by changing over deliberately outlined Aso oke pieces into mixed and lively accumulations of afro-driven form and home embellishments, for example, tennis shoes, boots and shoes, belts and sacks.

The brand shows a variety of handcrafted accumulations which carefully communicates magnificence and lavishness of the Nigerian customary society and history while it emphasizes that Aso-Oke, which is broadly known for its flexibility, solidness and life span emerges in a huge number of fabrics.

"The brilliant Aso-Oke pieces are planned by me and are hand-lingered by conventional weavers. My vision is to make a present day ethnic-roused brand that speaks to form significant others crosswise over eras. I need individuals to feel like they are wearing a gem; a gatherer's thing."- Tunde Owolabi, Creative Director, Ethnik.

The different accumulations from the brand incorporates "Our Scarified" gathering which is propelled by the customary Yoruba routine of scarification and "Oriki" gathering which pays tribute to Yoruba acclaim verse.
