Adire Motifs and their Meanings

Whenever we wear Adire fabric, we always try to ensure that our tradition, art and culture are always around and with us or the place we find ourselves. Adire textiles are a practical means of which the rich Yoruba cultural heritage and ideas could be channeled to other cultures. The Yoruba of South-western Nigeria are renowned for their vibrant cultural environment where Adire textile has been a lucrative clothing style over time in their festivals and ceremonial events.
