[ N'DONSO™ SET // LONG SLEEVE CROP + FLARE LEGGINGS ]
The Long Sleeve Crop and the Flare Leggings in Uhie Red, together for less than the two cost apart. Cropped and close up top, flared from the knee below, and the same print head to hem. Each piece is sized on its own.
N'Donso means my hunter. In the Mande world of Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire, the donso were the hunters' brotherhood. They knew the bush and its medicine, and they walked out first so the people behind them knew the way. The print takes its motifs from that road and from the raffia cloth of the Kuba kingdom: zigzag columns for the path, linked rings for the brotherhood, and nested triangles for the marks a hunter leaves to find his way home.
