Look What They Made: Urbanstax for Miss B
There have got to be some perks with being friends with someone who runs a fabric store right? Well our one and only @missbenedetto gets to enjoy one. It is in the form of the Wiksten Haori Jacket which we made from a combination of a Green and Red Ghanaian wax print on the outside and the colour popping Honey Yellow Adire for the lining.
The beauty of the pattern is that it is fully reversible so Miss B gets to choose which side takes her fancy. She’s a photographer and a darn good one at that so check out her Instagram!
What have you made lately out of African fabric? Do share if it is a Wiksten Haori or Shift. We’d love to see!
