Adire is a resist-dyed fabric produced by the Yoruba people of Nigeria’s southwestern region. The Yoruba term Adire translates to “tied and coloured.” Adire patterns are created by tying, stitching, or painting resist paste onto fabric, then dipping the cloth into a dye bath. Modern Adire fabrics may be dyed with any hue. Adire is frequently used to create skirts, blouses, pants, and wrappers worn by both men and women. Curtains and tablecloths are examples of home furnishings made from Adire material. Adire has gained popularity outside of Nigeria and is now worn by people everywhere. Adire styles are distinctive and exquisite, making them a popular option for both
Casual and formal attire.
