Dye Lab’s founder and designer Rukky Ladoja loves playing with prints and proportions to create beautiful and unexpected combinations. This Cotonou Dress draws inspiration from the traditional agbada attire, while preserving the invaluable heritage craft skills of the Yoruba people, including the traditional Batik technique.
