[ N'DONSO™ // TRACK JACKET ]
Our track jacket in the N'Donso™ print. The motifs cover the body, a three-stripe band crosses the chest and back, and a stripe runs the full length of each sleeve. The stand collar, cuffs and hem stay solid.
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.
Uhie Red runs the print red over a black ground, with Ọla Gold lines holding the pattern. Wear it open over the N'Donso™ Longline Bra and Flare Leggings on the way out of the studio, or zip it up for the first cold stretch of the morning.
