Each piece in our collection is a testament to the rich patterns and vibrant aesthetics of my West African heritage, making them the perfect addition to your Valentine's Day celebrations.

Embracing Valentine’s Tradition In West Africa, love is celebrated with joy, passion, and a deep sense of tradition. Our cultural fabrics, lampshades, and decorative accessories pay homage to these customs, featuring bold colours, intricate patterns, and symbolic motifs that reflect the warmth and vitality of African culture. From the Yoruba-inspired embroidery design, as seen on our pink Ona cushion, to the luxurious Adire-inspired textiles in our asa collection, each item tells a story of love, resilience, and community, inviting you to embrace the beauty of my African heritage.

Introducing Our New Tableware Range: Liven up your table decor with the Pink Idunu Napkins from our brand-new tabletop collection. Inspired by Northern Nigeria’s city Kano and its distinct Hausa architectural style, adorning the external decorations of buildings with intricate motifs and patterns, the pink Idunu napkin (idunu = happiness) with its vibrant pink, orange and burgundy circular pattern is perfect for infusing your Valentine’s table with a burst of colour and African heritage. Complement your setting with the orange Ife Pouffe, a vibrant piece that exudes love and positivity, perfect for adding a pop of colour and joy to your interior.

Symbolising Love and Unity Our collection's heart lies in a profound appreciation for love and unity, values central to African cultures. We weave these principles into our fabrics and lampshades, symbolising love, growth, and harmony.
