Usóró Cotton Kaftan

Crafted from 100% breathable cotton, the Usóró Ndó Kaftan is a quiet expression of ritual and ease. Its fluid drape is anchored by a handwoven raffia detail at the shoulder, a subtle yet intentional nod to craft, grounding the softness of the cloth with texture and form.

Inspired by the Annang tradition of the kola nut — a symbol of peace, union, and togetherness — this piece carries story within its fabric. Gentle text detailing and hand-finished edges speak to memory, ceremony, and devotion.

Lightweight yet grounding, this kaftan is designed for unhurried moments, where wearing becomes a form of remembrance.

INSCRIPTION ON THE KAFTAN 

From the kola tree — the sacred emblem of welcome and union — comes a quiet bloom of color. When the nut is broken and steeped, it releases hues that echo the rhythm of ceremony: the blush of kinship, the warmth of promise, the earth-toned grace of belonging.

For the Annang people, the kola nut is offered as a gesture of peace, a symbol of marriage, a prayer for togetherness. At ÉKÍ KÉRÉ, we draw from this ritual — transforming its essence into cloth, its spirit into hue. The kola nut dye becomes our language of connection — binding memory, craft, and devotion into every thread.Through Usóró Ndó, we honor the artistry of union — where nature dyes the fabric, and tradition colors the heart.
