Using complex embroidery Sheriba work to form complex circles on an asymmetrical. This design uses two types of black fabric (bazin and linen). One with a delicate pattern. The main fabric is used for the body of the shirt while the sleeves and the front yoke have a delicate pattern print. The yoke is an artistic version of Malcolm's X.
This is a sophisticated high end African design for those looking to stand out and make a personal/professional statement.
The embroidery work on this design takes over 3 hours and only a handful of people in Africa can do this sheriba style at this level. These are clothes to make a statement about your exclusivity, your good taste and status.They distinguish you from everyone else in a room.

Quote: El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz: "The economic philosophy of Black nationalism only means that we have to become involved in a program of re-education. To educate our people into the importance of knowing that when you spend your dollar out of the community in which you live the community in which you spend your money becomes richer and richer; the community out of which you take your money becomes poorer, and poorer"
