Summertime Opulence in African Inspired Clothing
The weather outside is delightful and sunny. It is giving us the opportunity to be outdoors more, connect with family and friends in safe outside distances, and enjoy everything from rooftop brunches to lazy beach days. Summer is inviting us all to experience the weather and look great while doing so. We have some opulent styles to complement any and everyone this warm season. Let’s start off with 5 events we’re sure you’ll be invited to this summer...

Of course, we can’t leave out the kids this summer!
Our Haji Kids African Print Applique T-shirt in Rainbow Tribal is a unisex tee that can be paired well with a skirt, overalls, and denim shorts or jeans. Let them wear this 100% cotton top for summer camp photos, play dates or when going to see grandma on a Sunday after church.

Now for the kid with the eclectic parent, throwing a pair of sweatpants on with the famous Birkenstocks would make a quick grocery store run flyer than ever.
The Bami Girl’s African Print Skirt in Sunset Adire, Rainbow Tribal, or Sky Blue Mudcloth is perfect for a day out with the family, summer vacays, and anything in between.
