My fav part of what I do? Unrolling!! When fabrics come in and I just can’t wait to see them- my heart beating so fast as I unroll, my hands shaking and lovingly running my hands on the surface. It’s one thing to see the design on the computer and it’s another to see it in real life. It hits different 😍 /ZURIandIMANI fabric for Lolo Coat Pattern Design: Arewa 1 | Gidan Sarki (Inspired by places and elements in #Africa #changingthenarrativeoftheafricanprint) Colour Palette: Blue Sunset . . . #zuriandimani #zuriandimanifabric #UNafraid #storytellingart #proudlyAfrica #africantextiles #patternoftheday #patterndesign #printandpattern #textilepattern #fabricdesign #modernafrican #surfacedesign #surfacepattern #surfacepatterndesign #textiledesign #textilepattern #africayourtimeisnow #globalafrica https://www.instagram.com/p/B56_gDtp6e_/?igshid=tn48qcwpc419

Let's take a trip to North-West in Nigeria (GIDAN SARKI)(fabric 1 and 3) and Northern-Cape South Africa (NAMAQUA)(fabric 2 and 4). Obsessing over our new colour palette for our 'landscape inspired' textile pattern. GIDAN SARKI / Pattern design is inspired by the ‘gate’ leading to the Emir's Palace in Kano State, North West of Nigeria. In Hausa (language spoken in most part of Northern Nigeria) 'Gidan' is translated as 'House’ and 'Emir' is translated as "Commander", "General", or "King". NAMAQUA FLOWER | FIELD / Pattern design is inspired by the Namaqualand Wild Flower Route, Northern Cape South Africa. . . . #zuriandimani #zuriandimanifabric #textiledesign #textilepattern #surfacedesign #surfacepattern #surfacepatterndesign #surfacedesigner #pattern #patterndesigns #printpattern #printdesign #printandpattern #fabricdesign #luxury #style #storytellingart #africanstories #africantextiles #modernafrican #travelafricastory #africanadventure #GlobalAfrica #creative #process #creativepreneur #designinspiration #designer #makersmovement #UNafraid https://www.instagram.com/p/B3tvquoptGc/?igshid=bna679oqx2gu

#Paternoster | comes in about 6 different colour ways. The #textiledesign #patterndesign was inspired by the Paternoster Beach in one of the oldest fishing villages, West Coast of South Africa, North of Cape Town. Paternoster, meaning 'Our Father', is a pillar in the South African commercial fishing industry. The fishermen boats formed the background of the design composition. Peep the name I gave one of the boats- UNafraid😉! When you travel there, you can also visit the Cape Columbine light house -the last manually controlled lighthouse in South Africa, built in 1936 on Castle Rock. The light cast a beam which is visible from about 50 km and is usually the first South African lighthouse seen by ships coming from Europe. . . . . . #zuriandimani #zuriandimanifabric #storytellingart #proudlyAfrica #UNafraid #changingtheafricannarrative #africantextiles #africanprint #patternoftheday #printandpattern #textilepattern #fabricdesign #modernafrican #surfacepattern #surfacedesign #surfacepatterndesign #surfacedesigner #paternosterfishingvillage #paternosterbeach #travel #wanderlust #wowsouthafrica #MadeInAfrica #GlobalAfrica #southafrica (at Paternoster, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3nSxG8JnZg/?igshid=1ub63tdmzdq9c
