With Uganda Originals, we celebrate artisanal production skills and materials by incorporating them into a contemporary wardrobe. Uganda Originals is an accessory product line we launched in 2023 with cotton wraps and palm leaf baskets.
Our city wraps are handwoven in Kampala by a group of women hand weavers at TEXDA Uganda using 100% Ugandan-grown and Ugandan-processed cotton.
Drop03 featured brilliant embroidery by the Yangani Women's Group and the MilayaProject at Bidi Bidi refugee settlement in northwestern Uganda. This marked our very first artisanal collaboration and extended the process of redesigning second-hand clothes outside of the studio and into the hands of talented South Sudanese women. The Milaya Project collaborated with us to embellish our handwoven city wraps with embroidery inspired by the idea of home.
