About the Print:

Our Akpere print is inspired by ankara, a pattern and fabric style common in various parts of Africa. Ankara is seen in celebration wear, everyday wear, accessories, furniture and, more recently, fashion runways across the world. This style of fabric is known for its bright, vibrant colors and unique repeat patterns. The patterns have different cultural meanings, conveying messages to those who are gifted the fabric or see someone wearing it at an event. I’ve always loved the way I feel when wearing ankara - joyful, beautiful and connected to a greater community. Kids should feel these things too, so our ankara-inspired prints bring a traditional fabric style to comfortable kids’ clothing. I've named this print Akpere which means "basket" in Yoruba, a language spoken in Nigeria, because the diamond design reminds me of a woven basket. 

About the Style:

A pretty accessory to add some vibrant color to any outfit, our organic cotton headband stays on without being tight. It’s comfortable, soft and safe for baby’s skin. Pairs perfectly with our other styles.

Our products make it easy and comfortable to bring the beauty of African design into everyday play.

Our Story

Hi! I'm Temidayo, the mom behind Ade + Ayo. I created Ade + Ayo when I was pregnant with my son and I couldn't find children's products that would introduce him to African cultures while fitting into his everyday life. I wanted to change that so that my son, and all of our kids, can grow up with pride and respect for what Africa has to offer.

We use 100% organic cotton.

Safe for kids. Good for the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ade + Ayo black-owned?

Yes, Ade + Ayo is owned by a Nigerian mom - so we’re proudly black- and woman-owned!

Is it cultural appropriation for my child to use Ade + Ayo products if we’re not African or of African descent?

Great question! I created Ade + Ayo to make beautiful African design more accessible to children. I hope to spark curiosity, love and respect for the people and cultures that inspire our products. From my perspective, it’s not cultural appropriation. When you receive your Ade + Ayo pieces, it’s important that your family interacts with these items from a place of celebration and respect for the cultures and people from whom they originate. You can read more about this on our main FAQ page!
