Collaboration is at the heart of every industry, so it’s exciting to see Kai Collective and Dye Lab team up for a limited collection at Alara Lagos. These brands are owned by Nigerian women who have made a huge mark on the global fashion scene. Fisayo Longe is the creative director of Kai Collective, while Rukky Ladoja heads Dye Lab, and Alara Lagos is a clothing store owned by Reni Folawiyo.

Kai Collective designs are known for their vibrant colours, prints, and interesting shapes and structures, while Dye Lab is famous for their lively Adire and batik prints and colourful boubous. It will be amazing to see the fusion of these two brands. It’s also noteworthy that this marks Kai Collective’s very first brand collaboration. The limited-edition pieces will be available exclusively at the pop-up at the beautiful space that is Alara Lagos.
