Why Raffia?
Éki Kéré draws inspiration from the rich masquerade culture of The Raffia City, reflecting in its designs an embrace of a myriad of masquerade traditions. Asymmetry and unconventionality, defines the brand’s style; through its innovative techniques and locally sourced materials like raffia. Éki Kéré's Creative Director, Abasiekeme Ukanireh, spearheaded the invention of the Raffia Vest. Handwoven by artisans in Ikot Ekpene (south of Nigeria) using traditional raffia weaving methods dating back centuries, the Raffia Vest epitomizes the brand's commitment to promoting culture, preserving craftsmanship, and respecting the ecosystem by creating clothing that naturally decomposes into manure at the end of its life cycle.
