We’re so proud of this collaboration with Cheikhouna, a master dyer, and his family in Dakar, Senegal to create a collection of hand-dyed textiles using traditional stitch-resist and wax-stamped techniques! Learn more about how these fabrics are made here!

Cheikhouna uses a stitch-resist technique called sitiba, in which the design is hand-stitched into the fabric before dyeing. As you can guess, this is a very time-consuming practice, but the results are stunning! Sitiba is rarely produced anymore not only because of the amount of time it takes, but because of the complexity of the technique. Cheihkouna is one of the last dyers in Dakar who practices this centuries-old technique, and while he trains apprentices, he stitched every piece of fabric for our production himself.
You may be more familiar with wax resist, otherwise known as batik! The natural materials that Cheikhnouna uses to create his dyes make his batiks and sitiba fabrics extra special!

I knew this dress was special the minute I touched the material and felt the softness of the fabric and took in the dyeing technique for myself. A friend asked recently if I'd worn it yet. I told her i was petting it like a cat for now and would wear it soon. This dress is art and makes me feel elegant. I attended an environmental conference wearing it for the first time and must have received 6 compliments before I hit the door. A young man said "the dress...the necklace..
supberb!" The softness. The way it drapes my body when i walk. The deep blue color. A winner!

I just love the printed batiks with the little wax blobs, wiggles, pattern variations & the thought that an artisan in Africa designed & made this 'for me'. Shout out to customer service for help when there was a problem with my initial purchase - thrilled with this dress!
