  • Insider Notes

    • A modern interpretation of Nigeria’s traditional agbada attire, this Cotonou Dress by Dye Lab is named after a large port city on the south coast of Benin in West Africa. Each piece is expertly made from pure cotton and hand-dyed using the age-old Batik technique, meaning no two are exactly alike. Finished with a contrasting Aso Oke collar, the relaxed silhouette looks effortless with chunky sandals.

      - V-neck, wide elbow-length sleeves, side pockets, ankle length
      - Cotton
      - Produced locally in small batches, with the aim of preserving traditional dyeing methods indigenous to the Yoruba people
      - The unique technique inherent to the production process may result in subtle variations and different characteristics of the color and pattern
      - Due to current high demand and limited artisanal capacity, each piece is made to order and may take 2-3 weeks to complete
