Bold colour. Handcrafted detail. Made to be worn.

Nsubra — meaning Water Well in Akan (Twi), the language of Ghana — is also a nod to the visual poetry of a stone dropped into still water: the moment of impact, and the expanding rings that ripple outward from a single point. That same energy lives in this print.

"Whatever you do or say has a ripple effect on those around you."

The 'Nsubra' Trousers are cut from vibrant African Ankara Dutch Wax print fabric in 100% cotton, in a striking palette of burnt orange and terracotta, with bold deep navy and indigo circular motifs, olive green fan detailing, and gold triangle accents at the hem — the kind of piece that turns heads before you've said a word. Crafted in small batches using remnant and carefully sourced materials, each pair carries the character of the fabric it's made from.

Designed with comfort and movement in mind, these trousers work just as well at a weekend market as they do at a dinner out. Pair them with a simple white or navy top to let the print speak, or clash boldly with another pattern for a maximalist moment.

  • Elasticated waist — easy to pull on and great for growing little ones
  • Hem can be turned up if the legs are too long
  • Contrast waistband and leg cuffs as a fashionable feature detail
  • Made from African Ankara Dutch Wax print fabric — 100% cotton
  • Small-batch, low-waste production
  • Handcrafted finish

Care Instructions

To keep the trousers looking their best:

  • Warm machine or hand wash
  • Do not tumble dry
  • Spot clean — gently dab with a damp cloth and mild soap
  • Do not bleach or dry clean
  • Air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrancy of the print
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to rain or moisture

The rich colours of Ankara fabric are best preserved with gentle care.
