On the face of it, Little Weavers is a premium afrocentric couture brand. But, in reality, Little Weavers is not only about kids fashion or accessories inspired by African designs. If you shop at Little Weavers, you are actually passing on the core African values and culture to the next generation.
It is about keeping the “culture” alive in them. Our clothes are the innovative fruits of our culture and history that inspires us and we wish to inspire others to adhere to it.
The moment we speak of African culture we think about Jazz, Break Dance, Reggae or Zumba. We often ignore the rich past of clothing, attire and handloom of our country. We want you think about our cultural heritage of weaving and clothing. Did you know our tradition of weaving in Africa dates back to about 3000 B.C.?
Every design, pattern and colour at Little Weavers is chosen for both visual effect and their symbolic meanings. Our clothing certainly, defines our culture. So, Little Weavers aims at creating that cultural consciousness amidst our future generation staying in Nigeria and African Diaspora. The textile arts are among one of Africa’s most significant craft forms.
Nigeria is bustling with Afrocentric clothing and fashion. Last week we saw one of the biggest fashion events of the country. It was the first time the African Fashion Week London (AFWL), dedicated to African Fashion took place in Nigeria. AFWL is an annual event created in 2011 which has showcased over 200 African designers, 50% of which are Nigerians.
It is the time when the world is ready to take notice of our rich colours, the patterns, the textures and the symbols that are known to be part of our being. Only an African knows the importance and uniqueness of Nigerian Batik. There are numerous varieties in which the art of Batik is performed using vibrant colours. Little Weavers also has such varieties in floral and geometric patterns.
Every pattern in African culture has a meaning like a star in the circle means “Congratulations” or a heart with a spade in the middle means “Courage”. Our clothes have a life and meaning of their own. Let your kids breathe the essence of true African identity.
You can find our store at Awolowo Road in Ikoyi and you can find clothes for ages 0-19. What more? We also feature wonderful African accessories for the moms.
Little Weavers has plans to go global and to soon open stores in other Nigerian cities, Dubai, UK and USA.
Hope you are ready to be part of our aim to take African couture to the global stage. Do visit us as our Little Weavers somewhere are weaving the threads of magic for your little ones.
