A two piece set cut from handwoven Akwete cloth: a short sleeve top with a full length maxi skirt, in bands of orange, purple, cream, green and black. Akwete is not a print. It is woven by hand by Igbo women in Akwete, a town in Abia State in south east Nigeria, on an upright wall loom that is the widest in Nigeria at roughly 100 to 127cm across. Most West African handweaving comes off a narrow strip loom and has to be stitched together in bands. Akwete does not, so the pattern runs unbroken across the cloth. The motifs are floated into the weave thread by thread as the fabric grows, which means the design is part of the structure of the cloth rather than a layer printed on the surface. The top is cut close through the body with a short sleeve. The skirt falls full to the ankle, so it moves when you walk and holds its shape when you stand. Together they read as one deliberate outfit rather than separates that happen to match. Available in UK 8 to 16. Wear the set together for weddings, owambe, introductions, church and traditional ceremonies, or split it: the skirt carries a plain white shirt or a black top on its own. Because every length of cloth is woven by hand, the placement and alignment of the bands vary from set to set. No two are cut from an identical stretch of fabric. Care: hand wash cold or dry clean. Do not bleach and do not soak. Hang to dry away from direct sunlight and press on a medium heat on the reverse.

A three piece men's agbada in deep emerald green: the wide sleeved outer robe, a matching buba top and sokoto trousers, with gold embroidery at the chest and cuffs. It is cut to your own measurements, not to a size chart. Seventeen of them, including the length of the outer robe from shoulder to floor, the buba length and the sokoto length, so the robe falls where you want it to fall rather than wherever it happens to land. Choose a regular, loose or traditional fit, and allow about five days before it ships. The cloth is what Nigerian menswear calls Seven Star cashmere, a soft brushed suiting cloth with a subtle self pattern woven into it, catching the light across the drape of the robe without any shine. It is not goat wool cashmere. The gold embroidery runs down the chest panel of both the robe and the buba underneath, and repeats as a band at each cuff. This is ceremonial dress and it is meant to be seen. It is what you wear to your own wedding, to a traditional ceremony, to a chieftaincy or a milestone birthday, on the days when being underdressed is the only real risk. For everything short of that, the same maker's senator kaftan is the better buy. Made by KINGZIZ in Lagos. Press on a low iron on the reverse and hang it rather than fold it.

A two piece set: a short sleeved satin shirt in fine red and white stripes, with a collar and a curved back hem, and matching plain red straight leg trousers. This is the smart one of the striped sets. The shirt is short enough in front to wear untucked over the high waist of the trousers and falls longer behind, and the solid red trouser turns the stripe into a bold, put together outfit for work, a dinner or an event. The shirt shares its stripe with the Coral Stripe shorts set, so this is the one to buy if you want the look in trousers. The trousers sit at the waist and fall straight through the leg to just above the ankle, with side pockets. The shirt has turned back cuffs and a yoke across the back. Sizes S to XXXL. Wash cool, and iron the shirt on a low setting on the reverse, as satin marks easily with heat.

A mustard yellow two piece set for men: a short sleeve collared shirt with chest pockets and a buckled strap detail, worn with matching wide leg trousers. This is a full look rather than two separate garments. Shirt and trousers are cut from the same cloth in the same colour, which is the whole appeal. Nothing to match, nothing to think about, one decision instead of two. Mustard is the point. It is a colour most men skip because they assume it will be loud, and it turns out to be the opposite. It reads warm rather than bright, it sits well against dark skin, and it holds up in daylight where a neutral just goes flat. The shirt has a flat collar, a half placket, chest pockets and a buckled strap across the front, so there is something to look at without a print doing the work. The trousers are cut wide and long through the leg. The whole set is loose rather than fitted, which is what makes it wearable in heat. Where it works: Sunday, a hangout, travel, a shoot, an outdoor event, anywhere between smart casual and streetwear. With slides as photographed, or with white trainers or a loafer if you want to lift it. Sizing: there is no size chart here, because there are no sizes. You send seven measurements at checkout, each with a short guide on how to take it, and the set is cut to those numbers rather than made in a standard size and altered afterwards. The loose, oversized room is built in for you, so send your body measurements and nothing extra. Each set is cut and sewn one at a time, so measurements move by a centimetre or two between pieces. Care: cold machine wash inside out, hang to dry out of direct sun, press on a medium heat. Wash separately for the first two or three washes, as strong colours can bleed.

A navy senator wear for men: a long sleeve mandarin collar top with a concealed placket and a buttoned chest pocket, with matching trousers. Cut to your own measurements. Senator wear is what a man reaches for when the occasion is serious but a suit would be too much. Formal without being borrowed from somewhere else, which is why it turns up at weddings, in church, at meetings and at every celebration in between. This one is cut clean and close rather than flowing. Mandarin collar, half placket with the buttons concealed, a single chest pocket with a buttoned flap, long sleeves, straight matching trousers. There is no embroidery anywhere on it, and that is the point. The fit and the cloth do the work, so it reads as modern rather than ceremonial. Navy is the one to own first. It carries a wedding and a Monday morning equally well, it photographs better than black under indoor light, and it does not fight whatever cap, shoes or beads you put with it. Made in what the trade calls cashmere senator fabric, the soft brushed suiting cloth this style is usually cut from. In the photographs it hangs with a clean line rather than clinging, which is what you want in a fitted senator. Sizing: there is no size chart here, because there are no sizes. You send seven measurements at checkout, each with a short guide on how to take it, and the outfit is cut to those numbers rather than made to a standard size and altered afterwards. That is why a senator cut this close holds its line across the shoulders and through the waist, which is where an off the peg one usually goes wrong. Wear it with leather loafers or a monk strap, and a cap if the occasion asks for one. Nothing else needs adding. Care: dry clean, or cold hand wash and hang to dry out of direct sunlight. Press inside out on a medium heat to protect the finish on the cloth.

A multicoloured Ankara ball gown with a yellow organza ruffle neckline and a full skirt built layer on layer, each tier cut from a different African wax print so no two rows repeat. The bodice is fitted and structured, the ruffle sits off the shoulder, and the skirt carries its own volume without a hoop underneath. It is made to measure, which is why it works for a daughter and for a mother. Order it as a girls' ball gown for a birthday, a naming ceremony, a school ball or a flower girl role, or in an adult size for owambe, aso ebi or a wedding guest look. Order both and you get a matching mommy and me set cut to fit each of you properly, rather than one design scaled down. Hand sewn in Nigeria in Ankara cotton wax print, with an organza ruffle and full lining. Send your measurements at checkout, allow 2 to 4 weeks before dispatch, returns within 30 days. This is occasion wear, so treat it that way. Spot clean or dry clean only, and store it hanging so the tiers keep their shape.

A two piece linen set: a short sleeved button down shirt with a classic collar and a curved hem, and matching straight wide leg trousers with front patch pockets. This is the set for heat. Linen is the cloth that stays cool when nothing else does, and a shirt and trouser in the same cloth reads as one considered outfit, so it goes from a morning flight to a lunch table to a warm evening without a change. Worn open over a vest the shirt works on its own, and the trousers take a plain tee just as well, so it earns its place as two garments as well as one set. The shirt has a shoulder yoke across the back and a hem that curves longer behind than in front. The trousers sit at the waist, fall straight and roomy through the leg and finish just above the ankle, with two patch pockets on the front. It comes in white or black, sizes S to XXXL. Both photographs show the white set; the black is not photographed. Dress it up with heels or down with flat sandals. Wash cool and iron while slightly damp, as linen creases by nature.

A two piece men's jalabia set in cream, with gold embroidery framing the neck and running down the front, and matching straight leg trousers. The cloth carries a faint tone on tone pattern that only shows when the light catches it. The neckline is round with a short opening at the centre, the cuffs carry a band of the same gold embroidery, and the trousers have an elasticated waist. The second photograph shows the robe on its own. Both pieces are included. KINGZIZ cut this to your own measurements rather than to a size chart, so there is no size to choose. You give your chest, shoulder, neck, sleeve length, bicep, armhole, wrist, top length, waist and hip, and the set is made to those figures. Measure over the underwear you would normally wear, and send the measurements of your body rather than of a kaftan you already own. The maker adds the room to move, and if you add it as well the set comes back too big.

A hot pink and royal blue Ankara two piece set, handmade in Nigeria by Lummy Atelier. The collared short sleeve shirt is cut in a bright pink cotton wax print with a white heart outline motif, and pairs with matching royal blue wide leg trousers in the same heart print, so the co-ord reads bold without trying too hard. The shirt has a relaxed, breathable fit that skims rather than clings. The trousers sit on the natural waist and fall in a long, fluid wide leg that lengthens the line and moves well when you walk. Available in Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large. Made from cotton Ankara wax print fabric, so it breathes in warm weather, holds its colour through repeated washes and presses back to a crisp finish. Wear the set together for weddings, owambe, church, brunch, birthday shoots and holiday dressing, or split it up: the pink Ankara shirt works over jeans or white tailoring, and the blue wide leg trousers carry a plain top on their own. Every piece is cut and sewn in small batches by our team in Nigeria, so slight variations in print placement are part of the character of the garment. Care: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash. Wash separately for the first two washes, hang to dry away from direct sunlight and iron on a medium heat on the reverse.

A men's polo shirt crocheted by hand in cream cotton blend yarn, worked in filet crochet so the geometric pattern is built from open squares and filled blocks rather than printed on. It has a folded crochet collar, a three button placket, short sleeves and a small tag stitched at the hem. The first photograph shows the actual shirt on a hanger; the photograph on a model is a styled image. Filet crochet is a counted technique. The maker works from a grid and decides square by square whether to leave a hole or fill it, which means the pattern across the chest is structural: it is the fabric, not a decoration added to it. Get a square wrong and the motif is wrong, so a shirt like this is slow work. The openwork is the reason to buy it. A crocheted shirt sounds warm and this one is the opposite, because roughly half the surface is air. It suits heat, coast and holiday dressing, and it wears well over a plain vest if you would rather the openwork were not quite so open. There are two ways to buy it. The finished shirt in the photographs is one size, and the maker's flat measurements are on the size chart in the images: shirt length 73cm, chest width flat 60cm, which is about 120cm around, sleeve length 27cm, cuff width flat 20cm and armhole 25cm. Compare them against a shirt you already own. If that size will not suit you, choose made to measure, give your own body measurements, and the maker will crochet one to fit, which takes about ten days before dispatch. The yarn is 55% cotton and 45% acrylic. Wash by hand in cool water, do not wring it, and dry it flat and out of the sun so the shoulders keep their shape.

They are made in Nsawam, Ghana by Ancient Culture, each one cut, pleated and stitched by hand. Because the set is assorted, the exact four patterns you receive may vary with available fabric, which makes every set unique.

A red dashiki top with a printed front panel, sold with an aso oke fila cap. The top is cut loose with short sleeves and a notched split neckline. Across the front, a panel of gold, black and rust leaf print is framed by bands of white trim against the plain red body. The maker says the design came from wanting to take African fabrics beyond the conventional and turn them into something expressive and unexpected. The fila is the Yoruba cap, folded from handwoven aso oke in maroon, black and gold stripes and lined in purple. Its deep red stripes pick up the red of the top, so the two read as one outfit. Sizes S, M, L and XXL; the maker's guide says they fit UK 8 to 14. Choose your size in the picker. Wear it to a wedding, a naming ceremony or a creative event, or with plain trousers for everyday.

Wear it to brunch, a gallery opening, a birthday dinner, a wedding guest slot, or to the office with a blazer over the top.

A two piece satin set in fine red and white stripes: a short sleeved button down shirt with a collar and a longer curved back hem, and matching shorts. It is the lightest set in the range and the one for holidays and hot days. Satin has a soft sheen that lifts a plain stripe, and the shirt is long enough behind to wear untucked. Worn on its own over white jeans or linen trousers, the shirt is a good piece in its own right, and the shorts pair with a plain white tee. The stripe runs vertically on both pieces. The shirt has short sleeves with a turned back cuff, and the shorts sit at the waist and finish high on the thigh. Sizes S to XXXL. Wash cool and gently, and iron on a low setting on the reverse, as satin marks easily with heat.

A full length men's jalabia in olive green, with a stand collar and gold geometric embroidery running down the front placket. The same embroidery is repeated as a band on each cuff and along the top of the chest pocket. The cloth is a smooth matte weave with no sheen, so the gold is the only thing that catches the light. KINGZIZ cut this to your own measurements rather than to a size chart, so there is no size to choose. You give your chest, shoulder, neck, sleeve length, bicep, armhole, wrist, top length, waist and hip, and the robe is made to those figures.

A hand crocheted oversized sweater in geometric colour blocks: burgundy, mustard gold, cobalt and powder blue, divided by pale pink and cream. Drop shoulder, made to measure. The blocks are not printed and not machine knitted. Each one is crocheted as its own panel and joined, which is why the borders sit slightly proud of the fields they divide and why the surface has depth you can see in the photographs rather than only feel. IcyHot is a fair description of what it does. Cobalt and powder blue down one side, burgundy and mustard down the other, meeting at the centre. It is the temperature contrast that carries the piece rather than any of the colours on their own. Cut oversized with a drop shoulder, so it hangs off the frame instead of following it. Ribbed crew neck, ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem pull the edges in, which is the thing that stops an oversized crochet piece from reading as shapeless. Made to your measurements. You send four numbers at checkout, chest, shoulder width, sleeve length and body length, and the sweater is crocheted to those rather than to a standard size. The oversized ease is built in for you, so send your body measurements and nothing extra. It works as the whole outfit. Over a plain polo neck and tights as photographed, over jeans, or as a dress on a shorter frame. Keep whatever is under it plain, because this one is not sharing the attention. Hand crocheted in non-pilling acrylic yarn with a gold cotton thread trim, in a heavyweight textured stitch. Dispatch runs two to four weeks, because a sweater at this size is thousands of stitches worked one at a time and there is no faster way to make one. Care: cold hand wash or a wool cycle inside a mesh bag, and never wring it out. Dry it flat rather than on a hanger, because the weight of wet crochet will pull the body out of shape. Do not tumble dry.

A two piece set with an off shoulder top in a black, white and red lattice print and plain red high waisted trousers. The back of the top is worth looking at before you buy. It closes with a corset style lace up finished with a red tie rather than a zip, so the fit at the bust adjusts across a couple of inches. That is the part that decides whether an off shoulder top sits where it should. The print is a crosshatch of black, white and red lines over a dark ground, and it stops at the waist. The trousers are plain red, cut straight and roomy through the leg and cropped just above the ankle. That is the practical difference between this and the Prism Lattice set in the same range. Because only the top is printed, the trousers go with almost anything else you own, and the top will sit over a plain black or cream trouser just as well, so this is the set to buy if you want two garments rather than one outfit. The sleeves are long and full, gathered into a cuff at the wrist. Sizes run S to XXXL. Wash cool, inside out, and iron the print on the reverse.

A two piece Ankara set in cream, red and navy, with an off shoulder top and matching high waisted wide leg trousers. The back of the top is the part worth studying in the photographs. It closes with a corset style lace up over a panel rather than a zip, so the top tightens or loosens across a couple of inches. On an off shoulder top that matters more than usual, because the fit at the bust is the only thing holding it up. The print is an isometric cube design, a cream ground with red and dark navy blocks, and it runs across both pieces so the set reads as one outfit rather than two separates. The sleeves are long and gathered full to a cuff at the wrist, and the top is fitted through the body with a short flare at the waist. The trousers are high waisted and cut wide and full to the floor. If you would rather have two garments you can split up, the Ruby Lattice set in this range pairs a printed top with plain trousers and is the easier one to break apart. This one is bought as a whole outfit. Sizes run S to XXXL. Wash cool and iron the print on the reverse.

A red scuba net kimono with black fringed trim, sold with black trousers. The kimono is cut wide and open at the front, with elbow length sleeves finished in a turned back cuff and a long body that falls past the hip. A thin red piping runs along each front edge inside a deep border of soft black fringe, which frames the outfit when you wear it open. The scuba net is a light open mesh, so it layers over a plain top and moves easily, which you can see in the seller's video. The trousers are plain black with a straight leg. Wear the two together for a party, a dinner or a weekend out, or throw the kimono over a simple dress on its own. If you prefer a single flowing piece, the store also makes bubu gowns. Care: hand wash cool and dry flat; cool iron on the reverse, away from the fringe.

A purple and blush floral maxi shirt dress, cut wide like a bubu, with lace trimmed sleeves. The maker lists it as silk and lace. The fabric has a satin sheen and a large print of pale pink leaves and flowers on deep purple. It has a small band collar and buttons down the front, and the wide batwing sleeves are edged with deep cream lace. The dress falls loose and straight to the floor, and the seller's video shows the back, which carries the same print. It is an easy dressed up piece for a wedding guest, a birthday lunch or a church service, and the button front makes it simple to put on. If you prefer black, the store's chiffon bubu comes with its own scarf. Care: hand wash cool or dry clean, and iron cool on the reverse, avoiding the lace.

A hand crocheted V neck sweatshirt in caramel, chocolate brown and white stripes. The Mide is worked in broad bands of caramel and deep brown, each pair split by a crisp white stripe, and the stripes carry on round the back and down both sleeves so it looks just as good walking away. The deep V neck, the cuffs and the hem are finished in ribbed crochet, and the shoulders are dropped for a relaxed, easy shape. It is designed one size larger than your usual fit to give an oversized look, so order your normal size. The seller's size guide, by body measurement: XS chest 30 to 32in, waist 23 to 25in; S chest 32 to 34in, waist 25 to 27in; M chest 36 to 38in, waist 28 to 31in; L chest 38 to 40in, waist 32 to 34in; XL chest 41 to 45in, waist 35 to 38in; XXL chest 45 to 50in, waist 38 to 41in. Unisex, and warm enough to wear on its own on a cool day or over a shirt when it is colder. Each one is made by hand, so allow one to two weeks before it is sent.

A bright layer for summer days, festivals and holidays, over high waisted trousers, a skirt or shorts.

A navy, grey and white floral maxi shirt dress, cut wide like a bubu, with lace trimmed sleeves. The maker lists it as silk and lace. The fabric has a soft sheen and a large print of navy and grey leaves and flowers on white. It has a small band collar and buttons all the way down the front, and the wide sleeves finish in deep white lace. The dress falls loose and straight to the floor, and the second photo and the seller's video show the back, which carries the same print. The cool navy and white palette makes it the easiest of the store's bubus to wear by day, to a lunch, a christening or a church service, and the button front makes it simple to put on. If you prefer a richer colour, the store's purple floral bubu shirt dress is the same cut. Care: hand wash cool or dry clean, and iron cool on the reverse, avoiding the lace.
