What’s New in the Collection?

Chic Tops and Elegant Skirts


Our latest collection boasts an array of stunning pieces that are perfect for any occasion. Imagine slipping into one of our chic African print tops, which pair beautifully with both casual jeans and sophisticated skirts. These tops are not just clothes; they’re statements of style and culture, blending traditional African prints with contemporary design.

Beautiful Dresses


And let’s talk about our African print dresses. They’re not just dresses; they’re works of art. Each piece is meticulously crafted to celebrate the vibrant and intricate patterns of African textiles. Whether you’re heading to a summer garden party or a night out in the city, these dresses will make you feel like the queen you are.

Fresh Take on Sweatshirts


We’ve also given a fresh twist to our beloved sweatshirts. Our new designs feature bold prints and comfy fabrics, making them perfect for those cool London evenings. These aren’t your average sweatshirts; they’re stylish, cozy, and uniquely Dovetailed.

Why You Should Mark Your Calendar

Limited Quantities


Now, here's why you need to mark your calendar. This isn’t just any collection. We’ve crafted these pieces in limited quantities, making each one truly unique. Imagine owning a dress that only a handful of people in the world have. That’s what we’re offering – exclusivity and style.

Unique Styles


Each piece in our new collection is designed to stand out. We’ve taken the time to blend modern fashion trends with traditional African prints, creating pieces that are not just beautiful but also meaningful. Whether it’s the bold patterns on our tops or the intricate designs on our skirts, each item tells a story.

Behind the Scenes

Sample Arrival and Photoshoot


The journey to this collection has been nothing short of exhilarating. Samples arrived on Monday, just in time for our photo shoot on Thursday. We were all on tenterhooks, waiting to see how the pieces would turn out. And let me tell you, they exceeded all our expectations.

I remember the day the samples arrived. It felt like Christmas morning! We opened the boxes with bated breath, and the room was filled with gasps and cheers as each piece was unveiled. The photo shoot was a whirlwind of excitement, with models twirling in dresses and strutting in tops, all set against the picturesque backdrop of our East London studio.

Designer Insights


Artisans have poured their hearts into every detail. Here’s a little insight from Adaku, our owner and designer: "This collection is a labour of love. We wanted to create something that’s not just fashionable but also pays homage to our African roots. Every pattern, every stitch has been thoughtfully crafted to celebrate the beauty of African textiles."
