About us
Folayèba is a brand that creates handcrafted artistic pieces. We are a team of skilled artisans that employ the artistry of wax and dye to meticulously craft intricate patterns on the fabrics used for our unique range of clothing and accessories.
The short history of this craftsmanship is a profound art form that reflects cultural heritage. The process using wax and dye create patterns on textiles is popularly known as an indigenous method called Batik. It is assumed to be a traditional method that is practiced mainly in Africa and Asia. It is assumed that the technique is passed on to descendants of families involved in the production and it can be distinguished by the pattern and colours. Thus, Batik can be viewed as cultural heritage of the ancestors.
Folayèba appreciates the delicate and traditional process of creating artistic prints on fabrics. We are committed to support the artisanal masterpiece by merging the Batik with innovative modern technique to produce authentic fashion that reflects rich cultural heritage and promote a lifestyle to strut wearable art and boldness.
Our creations are an embodiment of our deep connection to art and cultural origins. Ultimately, we want to empower the growing generation of artisans and preserve cultural heritage.
