Osei-DuroOsei-DuroAbiba Jacket – Guinea Fowl

Handwoven and hand dyed cotton from northern Ghana. The Abiba Jacket is a shorter version of the popular Theca Coat. It features one inside pocket and a slim rolled lapel. Loose-fitting unlined blazer-esque, perfect for layering.

This textile has a rich history, and was traded across the Sahel as a currency long before colonization in West Africa. Stripweaving from northern Ghana is now primarily made into Batakari, a loose smock that northern men dance and twirl in.
