Danshiki Tee

The flagship product from our SS25 collection, the Danshiki tee is this summer's must have. Our Danshiki is a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional Danshiki— a Nigerian workwear garment steeped in cultural significance within Black history.

This modern iteration features a hand-embroidered checkerboard neckline and a loose, boxy silhouette that echoes the regal drape of the traditional Agbada. Crafted from the brand’s signature indigo-dyed Funtua cotton, each piece is hand-dyed by artisans at the historic Kofar Mata dye pits in Kano, Nigeria. 

The neckline is finished in a distinctive hand embroidered checkerboard pattern adding a striking contrast that grounds the piece in a retro-athletic aesthetic. It also features bold, customizable patches that echo 90s-era logos, evoking a sense of nostalgia and playful pride. Patch designs include a “Local Champion” medallion, a Fanta-inspired Funtua patch, a fist pump motif, and a Chupa Chups–inspired badge reading “In my village dem dey hail me” as well as our new THIS IS US World logo patch.

Each Danshiki is sold with a Local Champion Medallion patch and a THIS IS US World iron-on patch. 

The Danshiki is available in both a tee and crop version and comes in either green and white or green and indigo.
