    Banya Blouse

    The Gnawa Lila design channels the sacred pulse of movement, rhythm, ritual, and adornment woven into form. Cowrie shells, floral embroidery, and ceremonial instruments echo through the artwork, a tribute to the musicians who carry the tradition.

    The Banya Blouse features an open collar, bow tie neckline, and billowy balloon sleeves with buttoned cuffs. A soft silhouette with presence, it moves with ease and speaks in rhythm.

    Tailored in Marrakech, designed in Boston.

    One size | Approx. 26.5" length
    Lila Jaune — viscose, rayon

    • THE STORY
      banya-blouse

      You can’t miss how comfortable the musicians look in their clothing as they move freely around the stage.

      I wanted to create a limited collection inspired by the fashion of the musicians with some key components.

      Without size constraints.

      Comfortable.

      Seasonless.

      All while still looking fabulous.

      Some are inspired by my mum’s own classic stylish pieces. All of these elements reflect the way the majority of African women dress.

    • THE PROCESS
      Working with a woman-owned factory in Morocco to create the Capsule Collection pieces.
