Temi Blue & Gold Embroidered Dutch Wax Dress

A celebration of colour, craft and heritage, the Temi Embroidered Dutch Wax Dress is one of the pieces we poured our hearts into. The bold Dutch Wax print was hand-selected for its vibrancy and structure, and the embroidery was designed to honour the traditional stitching style of Northern Nigeria — the region where I grew up.

Each dress is handmade in Lagos, Nigeria by our seamstress Helen. Once her sewing is complete, she travels a few miles to Mohammed’s workshop, where every neckline, cuff and belt is finished with meticulous hand embroidery. No two dresses are ever exactly the same — each one carries the unique touch of the artisan who made it.

Crafted from 100% Dutch Wax cotton, Temi features a softly structured silhouette with a stand collar, embroidered placket, wide three-quarter sleeves and a matching belt that lets you define the waist when you want a more sculpted shape. A timeless midi length completes the look, allowing the print and the craftsmanship to shine.

Designed to be oversized, Temi offers ease, movement and beauty in equal measure.
