Ezana | One of our most complex and detailed designs to date. We have used Sheriba to recreate our bestselling Menelik top. Made with rope sheriba to form the Ethiopic cross with detailed embroidery work to blend the design together.

RBG Dashiki | The return of one of our bestselling Dashikis of all time; the red black and green Dashiki of Pan-Africanism. In redesigning the classic dashiki of the 60's we had one additional design consideration, to transform it from a casual top to a formal one while retaining all that gave it its identity. We asked ourselves what was necessary to make it a premium occasion top, and went about adding everything we know to be premium, starting with high-end West African zigzag embroidery, formal cuffs back yoke, and a welt or outside pocket.

Libya Gaddafi:  Based on the success of our Gaddafi collection we decided to make this beautiful linen mustard shirt for the Kings, there is a matching one for the ladies. Using a mix-colored embroidery that has beautiful beads in brown embroidery intertwined. Shade of linen fabric varies from garment to garment. 

Qaddafi Deluxe White is a special version of our bestselling Qaddafi top which is in honor of the martyred Pan-Africanist Gaddafi. This is a style on the cusp of revolutionary modern Pan-African expression with the unique modern nuanced West African embroidery. Exclusive premium fabric from Ghana is the base for this exquisite top of high yarn.  Fabric note: Please note this shirt is identical in quality to our original Qaddafi top, the difference is the fabric is imported from Dubai and is much more expensive in price, and has the unique finish seen in the photo. 

Senegal Ousmane | A beautiful linen shirt inspired by the work of  Ousmane Sembène from Senegal. Senegal is one of the leading homes of African embroidery. This African men's top is made from ramie linen and if you would like it in another color just ask.

An optional outside pocket is available. Excellent for evenings out or those semi-casual occasions where distinction is called for. Please note the exact shade of green varies as shades of green depends on a fluctuating market.
