[ N'DONSO™ // BIKER SHORTS ]
High-rise biker shorts with the N'Donso™ print filling both legs, a solid waistband, and a pocket at the back for your phone and keys.
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.
Pair them with the N'Donso™ Longline Bra and pull the Zip Hoodie over when you're done. Adaeze Pink is the first colorway, and more are coming.
