The bold keeps it classic but striking, making it the kind of piece that works anywhere, anytime.
The front zipper is the real game-changer, wear it fully zipped as a sleek dress for a polished, pulled-together look, or unzip and throw it over jeans, a fitted skirt, or even shorts as a chic jacket. Either way, you’re serving style without even trying.
And yes, the pockets are deep, because we don’t do pocket-less anything here.
This piece is perfect for days when you want to look put together but not overdressed; brunch, meetings, casual Fridays, or that event you “just threw an outfit on for” (but still look amazing).

This dress was made for twirling (and maybe showing off a little leg 👀).
The high low hem gives you that perfect mix of drama and movement: short enough to keep it playful in the front, long enough to keep it elegant at the back.
Style it with strappy heels for a wedding guest slay, sneakers for a cool girl day look, or boots when you’re feeling edgy. Whatever you do, expect compliments; this dress doesn’t blend in.
This dress is pure joy stitched into fabric. The print is bright, playful, and perfect for days when you want your outfit to do the talking.
Perfect for twirling around at a weekend market, book-launch, laughing with friends at brunch, or just stepping out and getting compliments from strangers (because they will stop you 👀).
And yes, we didn’t forget the deep pockets; because what’s a perfect dress without them?😎
Ọgbà means garden in Yoruba and this dress is exactly that: fresh, full of life, and blooming with color. The print feels like walking through a garden on a sunny day, with patterns that play across the fabric like petals and leaves.
And here’s the best part! Ọgbà comes in different prints but the same style, so you can grab more than one and still look completely fresh every time.
Pair it with sneakers for a playful vibe, sandals for a day out, or heels when you’re feeling extra 😎 this is your all day, any day dress.

Some dresses just get it right and this is one of them.
This African print midi dress is the perfect mix of cute and classy, with a fit that makes you feel put together in seconds. The round neckline keeps it chic, the gentle pleats add that flowy, feminine touch, and the kimono-style shoulders give it a little “I woke up stylish” vibe.
And yes, it has two real pockets; deep enough for your phone, keys, and secret snacks (we won’t tell 😉).
Made with soft yet bold Ankara fabric, this dress works for brunch dates, office slay, casual hangouts; basically anywhere you want to look like you tried, but not too hard.
Collect it in all the prints (because once you wear it, one won’t be enough)
