Handmade Adire Batik Fabric, Burnt Orange White Osupa Cotton, African Sewing Textile Per Yard
Marvel at the artistry of this extraordinary handmade Adire batik fabric, crafted on authentic Nigerian Funtua cotton. This piece features the celebrated traditional “Osupa” (moon) design — the striking circular sunburst rosette motifs represent the moon in Yoruba Adire tradition. Two distinct resist-dyeing techniques are combined: delicate vertical accordion fold/pleat stripe patterns sit alongside bold large Osupa moon sunburst rosettes — all hand-dyed in rich burnt orange/terracotta and white. A spectacular, deeply cultural collector’s piece where every yard is completely unique.
Made using Funtua cotton, a high quality Nigerian cotton prized for its soft hand, airy texture and lasting strength. Traditionally used in Adire dyeing, this heritage fabric blends artisanal craftsmanship with effortless elegance. A beautifully woven cotton that resembles linen while remaining soft and breathable.
