Every DyeVogue piece tells a story, not just through its colors, but through the techniques behind it. Adire is centuries old, yet its craft remains relevant today.

Adire Techniques

  • Oniko → Tied raffia knots to create patterns (Wikipedia).

  • Alabere → Intricate stitch-resist dyeing.

  • Eleko → Cassava paste painted designs.

Each technique requires patience and skill. No two pieces are exactly the same.

The Osogbo Dyeing Legacy

Osogbo, Nigeria, is the heartbeat of Adire production. Women dye artisans perfected these resist techniques, turning cotton cloth into living art.

Adire African Textiles documents this vibrant tradition.

DyeVogue’s Respect for Craft

We honor these legacies by ensuring our pieces remain true to the craft while adapting to modern style. Every kimono, trouser, or dress reflects Yoruba artistry.

Behind every DyeVogue garment lies centuries of heritage. Adire is not just fabric—it is a cultural archive in cloth.
