[ N'DONSO™ // LONGLINE BRA ]
A longline sports bra in the Uhie Red colorway — the N'Donso™ print in red over a black ground, front and back, with a solid band at the hem.
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.
It makes a set with the N'Donso™ Flare Leggings or Biker Shorts, and sits fine under the Track Jacket. Uhie Red is the second N'Donso™ colorway, after Adaeze Pink.
