The Timeless Art of Adire – A Journey Through Yoruba Textile Heritage

Adire is more than just fabric — it is a living expression of history, identity, and craftsmanship passed down through generations. Rooted in the heart of Yoruba culture in southwestern Nigeria, Adire (meaning “tie and dye” in Yoruba) is a traditional textile art form created using resist-dyeing techniques. For centuries, this distinctive fabric has been used to tell stories, symbolize status, and connect communities.
