Onna African Print Stretch Clothing Collection

We’re excited to introduce our innovative Onna African print stretch clothing collection. “Onna” or “On na” when properly pronounced in the Nigerian language Yoruba means “it stretches”. Created to solve a nagging problem, our Onna African print stretch fabric is the first of its kind in the African print fashion market!

 

As a Nigerian, I grew up with Ankara which is also known as wax cotton fabric. It’s the fabric used in most West African traditional clothing and in most D’IYANU garments. As most of us familiar with Ankara know, this material is made with 100% cotton and has little to no stretch. I remember the last time I was back in Nigeria, we had some clothes tailor-made for us. The garments were made according to our measurements and the pieces I got were fitted. Sadly those garments don’t fit me today. However if they had some stretch, they would still fit. We recognized that our customers were also facing these same fit issues with Ankara. As women, we love to wear clothes that fit our curves nicely and make us feel sexy. Women also come in different shapes and sizes making it hard to find ready-to-wear Ankara clothing that fits well. It’s even more of a challenge when ordering online.

In response to the fit issues with Ankara fabric, we set out to find the perfect fabric with the right stretch and thickness that would still retain the richness and vibrant colors of Ankara fabric. We found a fantastic knit fabric that met our criteria. We call that material Onna fabric which is made of 95% polyester and 5% spandex.
