  • Insider Notes

    • Available in a variety of colorways, Dye Lab’s Cotonou Dress is a summertime staple. This magenta and white iteration is crafted in Lagos, Nigeria, by local artisans and hand-painted using the traditional Batik technique. It's cut from breezy cotton and finished with a bold Aso Oke collar for an extra pop of personality. Styling-wise, a pair of chunky sandals and a slick of red lipstick will suffice. Limited quantities are released each month—get yours now before it sells out.
