*This product is a pre-order item. Anticipated ship date for orders with this item is mid April 2024*
About the Print:
Our Keteka print is inspired by shweshwe, a printed dyed cotton fabric commonly used for traditional South African clothing. Originally dyed indigo, shweshwe fabric features intricate geometric patterns and is traditionally worn by newly married Xhosa women and married Sotho women. We've named this print "Keteka" which is the Sesotho word for "celebrate."

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.
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!
