Handmade Adire Batik Fabric, Burnt Orange White Osupa Cotton, African Sewing Textile Per Yard

£16.00

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.
